When that is the case, the Lord wants us not to resent His plans, but to recognise that He has plans we know nothing about, and to embrace His plan for our lives with even more motivation than the ones we came up with. It is good to have goals and to be moving with purpose in your life, but sometimes God’s plans are different than ours. Of course we should thank Him for those things too, but they are just a part of ‘everything’. ‘In everything give thanks.’ Notice that the Lord is not saying to us today, ‘Thank Me for the nice, pleasant things in your life’. When things do not go exactly as you planned, thank God that His goals for you are better than yours! Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
