"In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Do we give thanks in everything? I'm sure we do for the good things. Or do we? How about the hard things? They, too, are apart of 'all things'.

Psalm 140:13 says,
"Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence." 

Of the righteous Scripture says:
"The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry." Psalm 34:15

"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon." Psalm 92:12

The Psalmist says in Psalm 37:25,
"I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread." 

The Lord tells us in Isaiah 3:10,
"Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings."

In Matthew 13:43, Jesus says,
"Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

Concerning giving thanks:
In David's Psalm of praise in 1 Chronicles 16, he sings, "Oh, give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!" Vs. 8

"Offer to God thanksgiving,
And pay your vows to the Most High." Psalm 50:14

The Psalmist tells us and we surely must agree, "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High." Psalm 92:1

Paul in Colossians 4:17 tells us,
"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Psalm 40:13 above says, 'the righteous shall dwell in Your presence'.
Paul tells us in Ephesians 2 that we have free access to God through Christ Jesus!
"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made  near by the blood of Christ." Vs. 13 "For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 
Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God." Vs. 18-19  (Read Vs. 11-22 and be blessed.)

The Psalmist, David, says of the Lord,
"You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11

We often sing:
"Break forth into joy Oh my soul,
Break forth into joy Oh my soul.
In the presence of the Lord there is joy forevermore!
Break forth, break forth, into joy Oh my soul!"

And so we should, for we are ever in His presence. How awesome! 
The Creator of ALL things is our heavenly Father and we are never  out of His sight. And since we live under an open heaven we can call on Him at any time. Thank you Most Holy Father for drawing us  unto Yourself in our precious and holy Lord Jesus Christ. We love and adore you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
