Dear Friends,
The Bible says we are to maintain an attitude of gratitude. Why should we do this? Today’s devotional will explain and help you obey. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• I Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)

  18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

“We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is ‘good,’ because it is good, if ‘bad’ because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.” [C. S. Lewis, Letters: C. S. Lewis/Don Giovanni Calabria translated and edited by Martin Moynihan, (Ann Arbor, MI: Servant Books, 1988), p. 49, 51]
