Thanking God is something that has to be done at all times. We should not only thank God when times are good but also when times are bad. I believe that is an attitude of a true believer. A true believer doesn't give thanks, praise or worship because times are good but does it at all times.

He is the one that walks by faith and not by what he sees, situations don't move him or tells him how he should behave towards God rather he will always moved faith.
If we are looking at the situation we are in and what is happening around us and in our lives then for most people there will be no enough reason to thank God.
We must always look beyond what we see. God works in ways which cannot be seen. He works on our behalf behind the scene and that is why it is hard to even see it when He's at work.
Here is how God works on our behalf: every night the night we sleep like the dead it is always the the mighty hand of God that sustained us and preserved us from the fiery darts of our enemies. It wasn't our alarm clocks that woke us but the grace of God. You can place an alarm clock besides a dead and see if it will wake him up.
If there is any good reason for us to thank God it should be chance He has given us to live. Life is so precious and if it is bought with money I believe many people won't be able to afford it.
I visited a hospital sometime ago and then realised the value of life.
Those who needed oxygen or the life saving machine had to pay daily to be supported in order to survive. Man sells oxygen to his fellow man but God gives it away free of charge.
Not only the air we breathe but the food we eat, the water we drink and the ability to move and have our being. Man place so much value of these things and will not hesitate to sell it if it is in their possession but God gives to us free of charge.
There are so many things that God has done and is doing for us that we need to think about and be grateful and remember not only are we to thank God for His provisions but for who He is.
