Why should we give thanks during hardships?

Thankfulness in times of hardship reflects deep faith and recognition of God's sustaining grace. The sermon stresses that while walking through the 'wilderness' of life, one can still acknowledge God's goodness and mercy as guiding forces. It is during these trials that we can most profoundly experience His provision, much like the Israelites did during their journey through the wilderness. This acknowledgment can transform our perspective, shifting focus from difficulties to recognizing His unwavering support and love, reminding us that His mercy will never run out.
