An Authentic Thanksgiving: Giving Thanks from the Pit
The apostle Paul tells us to give thanks in all circumstances. But how do we give thanks when our present circumstances are crushing our spirit? We lament. We cry out to God to change our present, while giving thanks to God for what He has done, while giving thanks to God for what He will do. We can always give God thanks.
