“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NI
Beloved, notice that this scripture instructs us to give thanks “in” all things not “for” all things. When tragedy or temptation strikes, we are not to thank God for them. He is not their author. He’s the one who provides our way of escape from them. That’s what we are to thank Him for.
Going through the four gospels, you’ll find that Jesus never gave thanks for sickness or death. Instead, when He encountered them, His response was to overcome them by God’s power.
So give thanks as Jesus gave thanks. Not for Satan’s activities but for the victory God has given you over them.
Blessings!
