We are here admonished to give thanks for all things. We know we should give thanks for our daily provisions and for the mercy of God in saving us, but sometimes we don’t take the time or make the effort to truly thank him, or to consider all the things for which we should be grateful.

Astonishingly, Paul also expressed appreciation for tribulations (Romans 5:3) and even acknowledged that he took pleasure in “infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake” because God’s strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:10). If God’s sufficiency is displayed in my insufficiency, Paul said, then I am thankful for each opportunity for his strength to be shown in my weakness.
And above all, the apostle gave thanks for the Savior. He wrote, “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15). Words are inadequate to describe the glory of our Savior Jesus Christ, but we should continually give thanks for him and his love for us.
