Paul teaches that wise Christians make the most of every evil because they gratefully see God’s good hand in all things.

Always giving thanks for everything, including the bad, is the wisest way to live. Giving thanks without ceasing helps you see how bad things could be much worse. Continual thanksgiving helps you see all the good in the midst of the bad. Living a life of constant thankfulness helps you see there is always good in the bad. Thank God for Every Evil Thing.
