Let’s not forget that last part of the verse, which says, “being watchful in it with thanksgiving” (ESV). So, thanksgiving. Let’s not forget thankfulness. While the conversation has been somewhat dreary at this point, though, at the same time hopefully encouraging and perhaps even enlightening, let’s not fail to remember that all of us, no matter who we are, have many things to be thankful for—an abundance of thankfulness in fact. So much we can’t even count it, and this really no matter where we find ourselves in our current lives, in whatever our life circumstances are. Of course, if we aren’t surrendered, we probably won’t see things this way. We probably won’t realize all there is that we have to be thankful for. If we are entitled, all we are thinking about is what we don’t have, and how God has greatly offended us because he hasn’t helped us with whatever it is. We may be bitter. We are stuck in our likes and dislikes, in that part of the mind that torments us.
