Give Thanks IN all circumstances...

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

New International Version (NIV)
 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Ouch!  Right now I have a circumstance I am not thankful for, but I can be thankful IN the circumstance.  There is a difference.  Imagine a tornado has blown away your home.  I can't say I am so grateful for the tornado, but I can say I am grateful IN this circumstance that God's will and glory will be revealed.  Look not at the problem, but at the solution which is God.
