Ephesians 5:19-20

Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices and instruments] and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. Ephesians 5:19-20

The Bible tells us that out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths will speak. So as always the Truth is really powerful here when we consider that we are to make melody and always be given thanks.

A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

Don’t ever think for one second that we are left alone to fill our hearts with the Truth. Our hearts are directly from God and He is the One Who fills them with hope, peace, and joy. 

I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing. John 15:11

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

These Truths are why we can always and under all circumstances give thanks. Our situations may look grim, but the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us will cause us to abound in hope and give thanks. Never ever let anyone tell you that you have to be the one who develops your own hope, peace, or joy. These things are too important and it is our Father Who will always cause us to abound in all of them. 

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7

Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. Romans 5:5

Our Father will lead us through hard times and easy times, either way it is all for the glory of our Kingdom. He will cause us to rejoice and be humble in the easy times and He will cause us to rejoice and be trusting in the hard times. He will cause us to always rejoice and He will always cause us to encourage and interceded for others. Our Father will insure that we are used and that there is a ton of eternal treasure waiting for us and those who He has us serve in Heaven.
