After being Robbed

Saw this quote from biblical commentator Matthew Henry (pictured here). He wrote the following in his journal after being robbed:

“Let me be thankful—
First, because I was never robbed before.
Second, because although they took my wallet, they did not take my life.
Third, because although they took my all, it was not much.
And fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.”

Can you do the same?

God calls us to "give thanks in ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Not just in favourable situations.
