How do we know that giving thanks for all things is God's will?

In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, it is stated, 'In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.' This underscores the importance of thanksgiving as not only a desirable attitude but one mandated by Scripture. Therefore, true believers are called to express gratitude for all circumstances, trusting that God is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). This perspective transforms our challenges into opportunities for gratitude and reliance upon God’s providence.
