And we’ll learn that everything that happens to us always works out for our best (Rom 8:28). God may allow us to be tested to see how we’ll react and also not just to see how strong our faith is but to increase our faith because once the trial is over, we’ll see just how faithful God was. If you had the IRS auditing you, would you give thanks to God for that!? I believe we should because “all” means all! God allows tests and trials in our life to make us depend on Him because these tests, even the extremely difficult ones, allow us to learn to trust Him even when our eyes lie to us. This verse makes me believe that we are to give thanks for all things and “all” means even though the trials and tests that we go through. Giving Thanks for All Things Ephesians 5:20 “giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Here are seven Bible verses that we can pray back to God or memorize to help us remain grateful and not forget to thank our good God for all that has done and is yet to do in the future. This is taking God’s kindness toward us for granted. A sin of omission can sometimes be worse than a sin of omission and when we fail to give thanks, we are failing to acknowledge what God has done for us. How much more so would a good God tend to be more generous when we are continually giving Him thanks for what He has already given us and what He has done for us through His Son, Jesus Christ ( 2 Cor 5:21)? One of the most grievous sins is that of ingratitude. When people express gratitude it seems to induce happiness and when we’re more thankful to others when they help us or are generous to us, they are much more likely to continue to be generous and giving.
