Biblical Gratitude
Nov 2, 2025 • Kyle Caudell
Gratitude is easy when life is good—but the real test of faith comes when we’re called to give thanks in everything, not just for everything. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul reminds us that thankfulness is not a suggestion, but God’s will for His people—a posture of the heart that recognizes His goodness even in life’s hardest moments. Biblical gratitude doesn’t deny pain or pretend everything is perfect; it trusts that God is present and working for our good in every season. When we live this way, our thankfulness becomes more than words—it becomes a powerful testimony to a watching world that our hope and joy are rooted not in our circumstances, but in Christ Himself.
