"In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Is the 'giving of thanks' only for giving thanks IN the circumstances or is it giving thanks because what we are in IS the Will Of God for our lives? It seems to me that Paul is saying BOTH...give thanks IN every circumstance and give thanks FOR the circumstance no matter what it is because it is the Will of God that you be in this curcumstance beacuse nothing can happen to us except it first pass through the Will of God. That is why we can rest in what Paul said in Rom. 8:28 It has always been a quesiton in my mind concerining this verse. “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
