Thankfulness

1 Thes 5:18

When times are good it's easy to be thankful but it's hard to do when things seem to be going every wrong and it seems God has forgotten about you,be thankful.

Luke 22:17-19
Jesus knew His fate before He was born but He was still thankful to God for the future Heb 12:2 (-11). We may be currently unemployed, currently have financial struggles and or health struggles. But God is always with us, He has paved the future on earth, but especially in heaven. We sometimes go through hardships as a punishment /discipline.  But most times the hardships we go through is to serve a greater purpose which is a wondrous Glory of God!
2 Kings 20:1-6
Gen 50:20
God's Glory can be revealed in ways that to our human hearts and eyes we feel is unfair treatment especially when we believe in God and serve Him loyally. But let us take example from Joseph and Hezekiah, who through all their struggles and torment and anguish, they still always turned to God to be thankful and grateful to Him.
