My husband and I often read "Daily Manna From the Net" on the International Bible Society website. Today the Scripture was from Ephesians 5:15-20, and part of that passage really got me thinking. Verse 20 says "...always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." That's the NIV. I was curious, so I looked it up in other versions. NIRV, KJV, NASB, NLT, and AMP all use that word, "FOR."
I know that we are supposed to be thankful to God at all times, even DURING trying times. God is always good, so I believe there is always something to be thankful for. It's so much more difficult to be thankful FOR those times and situations.
God, please give me a truly grateful heart; teach me to give thanks for everything.
