"In everything..."
"...All things..."

Pas is the Greek word for both 'everything' and 'all' in the passages
included in today's message.

"Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible" tells us that "pas; includes
all the forms of declension; all, any, every, the whole: -- all (manner of,
means), always, any (one).thoroughly, whatsoever, whole, whosoever."
As you can see it is all inclusive.

So as we look at these passages today keep that 'all inclusive' thought in
mind. It reveals the great love of God toward His own. These inclusive words
also tell of what our heart's response should and must be to our awesome
Lord God.
(And we know that there are also the all inclusive in consequences of
refusing this love that is held out to all man kind.)

We all know John 3:15,
"That WHOSOEVER believes may in Him have eternal life."

In Ephesians Chapter 1 we see His great love in His gift of Christ:
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with EVERY spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." Vs.3

"In ALL wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His
will...that is, the summing up of ALL THINGS Christ..." Vs. 8-10

"Also, we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to
His purpose who works ALL THINGS after the counsel of His will." Vs 11

"And He (God) has put ALL THINGS in subjection under His (Christ) feet; and
gave Him as head over ALL THINGS to the church, which is His body, the
fullness of Him who fills ALL in ALL."  Vs 22-23

Love prays for our oneness in God:
"That they may ALL be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee,
that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send
Me." John 17:21

The Apostle Paul reminds us:
"And we know that God causes ALL THINGS to work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

Therefore, Paul goes on in Philippians 4 to tell us,
"Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses ALL comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus. Vs. 6-7

So we can,
"In EVERYTHING give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

These are so very few of the wonderful 'alls' and 'everythings' in Scripture
pertaining to God's graciousness and love for us. I pray that you will get
into the Word and see the glorious promises of our Almighty God. As we do,
we all will, without hesitation, give thanks in everything!

How very blessed we are! ALL praise and thanks to Him who loves us so!
