Bible Verse:
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Real-Life Example:
John and Mark both experience a setback—losing a job:
- John stays thankful, believing there’s wisdom in every situation. He uses the time to reflect, improve his skills, and reconnect with family. Soon, he finds a better opportunity.
- Mark falls into despair, constantly complaining and blaming others. He feels stuck and loses motivation to move forward.
This verse teaches that gratitude isn’t just for good times, but also during challenges. A thankful heart brings peace, clarity, and divine guidance, even when life doesn’t go as planned.
