So many reasons to give thanks to the Lord

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

If a person receives a gift every day and doesn't thank the giver, he is ungrateful. God gives us gifts, blessings, and favors every day, so it is natural that we should be thankful to Him for everything every day. A new day is already a gift from the Lord; now that I am sitting safely in my home and writing a meditation in my own room, is a gift from the Lord. The most precious gifts are forgiveness of sins, eternal life, victory over sin, the wonders of His Word, sanctification, etc. His blessings are countless, and our gratitude can never be enough. Everything in a Christian's life is ordered by God's wisdom, sanctified by His grace, based on His promises, and flows from His love. God makes all things work for good to those who love Him.

So we have reasons to give thanks in everything every day. If we don't see reasons to be thankful every day, then we are blind, and we need to pray for spiritual sight.
