Christian Thanksgiving in All Circumstances

Believers are commanded to acknowledge God with gratitude in every circumstance, including provision, protection, trials, discipline, humbling conditions, and things God providentially withholds. Such thanksgiving rejects murmuring and rests in God's wisdom, mercy, and providential care.
