1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
In everything, not for everything: there is room for thanksgiving even in the middle of pain.
Read the chapter →What does the Bible say about gratitude?
The Bible asks for thanksgiving “in everything”, not only for the good — because it flows from who God is, not just from what happened. Giving thanks is also a way of worship.
Where it is written in the Bible
Psalms 100:4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Thanksgiving is the way into worship.
