We always have reason to worship
June 22, 2022
Our final verse tells us that thankfulness is a key part of worship. Gratitude reminds us of the powerful truth that God is the source of life and every good gift, and he is eternally worthy of worship. Can we really give thanks always and for everything as Paul commands though? Our verse reminds us that we come to a loving Father who comforts us when life is hard and will ultimately heal and redeem every difficulty. When we look to the cross we do indeed find reason to give thanks always and for everything!

Ephesians 5:15–20 (Listen)
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(ESV)
