       We have to remember to be thankful to our Heavenly Father. He didn’t have to give us life to begin with, but has chosen to bless us with life. Remember what King Solomon teaches us in Ecclesiastes. He says, “Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him” (Ecclesiastes 7:13-14, ESV). It is possible that tomorrow will be a better day. But regardless, we should be thankful to God. After all, he has saved us from our sins, made us new creations, fellow heirs with Christ, and the list goes on and on. We will one day be with God in Heaven, as our future is in Heaven with him. We can have peace now, regardless of our circumstances, as we saw God promised us earlier, and we are guaranteed peace in the future. We can have the best of both worlds. Whatever is going on in our world or in our lives, the Bible tell us what we should be thinking about—how we should be structuring the thoughts in our minds.
