Giving thanks is easy when life makes sense, but Scripture calls us to something deeper. The Bible commands us to “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18), even when life feels confusing or painful. In this episode, we turn to Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus to uncover a powerful truth: gratitude isn’t rooted in what we see — it’s rooted in the God we trust. Even when circumstances seem unfair, God is still working according to His eternal purposes, reminding us that “all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28) and that trials refine our faith (1 Peter 1:6–7). If you’ve ever said, “Lord, I don’t understand this,” this message will encourage you to trust Him fully — and thank Him even in the seasons that make no sense.
