1 Thessalonians 5:18
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
When bad things have happened, I have sometimes said, "Praise the Lord anyway." That is good, but then I drop the "...;anyway," and that is better, since the verse does NOT say, "...give thanks ANYWAY." Think about it. Little words mean a lot.
Upward and Onward in Jesus,
Pastor David L. Gould
