I Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

How Can I Be Thankful in EVERY THING?
Thankfulness Depends On Our:

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

Psalm 100:3-4

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
​and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

II Corinthians 4:13b-16

we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish,
​yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Job 19:25-27

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Colossians 2:6-7, 10, 13-15

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
​And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Picture

Colossians 3:16-17

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
​giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Psalm 95:1-3

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
​Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

DEPENDENCE ON GOD

Philippians 4:6-7

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
​shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Psalm 106:1

Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

II Corinthians 9:8, 11

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye,
​always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

Psalm 69:30-31a

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
​This also shall please the LORD
Picture

Colossians 3:23-24

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
​for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Psalm 116: 16a, 17

O LORD, truly I am thy servant;
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

Psalm 107:21-22

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
​and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

Revelation 7:11-12

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts,
and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour,
​and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Proverbs 30:4

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists?

​what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Isaiah 40:12, 15

Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, ​and the hills in a balance?

​of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

Isaiah 40:21-22

Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning?

Exodus 3:14

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:
​and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, ​I AM hath sent me unto you.
Picture
We serve a God that thinks about our lives, our world, and His creation on a completely different level than even the smartest human has the capacity to think. His nature and plan are infinitely beyond human understanding.

God's transcendence places Him beyond the limits of time and space. His nature as uncreated and separate from His creation is a fundamental concept distinguishing a biblical understanding of God from other philosophical or religious theories.

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
​no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Fear not the path of truth
​for the lack of people walking on it.

John 6:35

And Jesus said unto them,

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

John 15:1, 5

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
​I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
​the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 11:25-26

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Revelation 1:8

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
​which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Romans
​11:33
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Picture

Romans 11:36
For of him, and through him, and to him,
​are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
