…ALL things!
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thes 5:18)

Thanks for Life
Above all we have to be thankful for is the newness of life we have in Jesus Christ! A new heart and a new spirit! Eternal Life! Give thanks and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ!
An arm and a leg
David told Ornan that he would buy his threshing floor for the full (vs discounted) price because he would not offer to the Lord anything that cost him nothing (1 Chron 21:24). An offering to the Lord must be “felt” by the flesh if it is to have any value.
The Lord tells us our very lives are to be a living sacrifice unto Him (Romans 12:1-2). Truly, a reasonable sacrifice on our part!
Correction and Assistance
Galatians 6:1-2 says, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
God’s way of correction and assistance is gentleness and meekness. His ways are different than the world’s ways.
Do your friends and loved ones see God or the world in you?
I don’t count
I don’t count, Jesus counts (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, John 3:30). In heaven’s system of “ac-counting” comes:
1. being counted worthy of the resurrection unto eternal life (Luke 20:27-38)
2. being counted worthy to escape the judgment of God coming upon the world and to stand before Jesus (Luke 21:36)
3. being counted worthy to suffer for Jesus’ name (Acts 5:40-42)
4. being counted worthy of the kingdom of God (2 Thes 1:4-6)
Counting the cost not as the world counts, I am determined: I don’t count.
