b'Robbed A Thanksgiving Devotion\\xa0 #RTTBROS\\xa0 #nightlight\\n\\n\\n\\xa0"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV)\\n\\nThe great Bible commentator Matthew Henry lived out this verse after a thief stole his wallet. Rather than rage or despair, Henry responded with grace and gratitude. First, he thanked God that he had never been robbed before. Though now deprived, Henry reflected on years of provision and safety. Second, though robbed of his purse, the thief did not take Henry\\u2019s life or possessions; many suffer far worse violations. Third, Henry lost little of value, acknowledging that earthly wealth can disappear quickly. As Job endured much worse calamity yet still praised God saying, \\u201cNaked came I out of my mother\'s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.\\u201d (Job 1:21 KJV). Finally, Henry thanked God that he was a victim of robbery, not a perpetrator of it.\\n\\nCharles Spurgeon once preached, \\u201cA grateful heart will see good even in the darkest days.\\u201d Despite his loss, with grace and wisdom Henry saw blessings to be thankful for. May we emulate his godly perspective, as Spurgeon exhorted: \\u201cCome, my heart, begin your hallelujahs...Boast thyself in God...Bless the Lord throughout this day; bless Him while you live.\\u201d God uses all circumstances for our growth if we respond rightly.\\n\\nOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros'
