The great Wesleyan Bible expositor, Adam Clarke, interpreted Ephesians 5:20 as follows: "Giving thanks always - God is continually loading you with his benefits; you deserve nothing of his kindness; therefore give him thanks for his unmerited bounties."
Some have read the King James Version of Ephesians 5:20 and interpret it with the idea that we are to thank God for sickness, tragedy and adversity as well as blessings. People can often read such passages in a fatalistic manner.
God does not want our thanks for what the devil is doing in our lives. He wants thanks for what He is doing, which means even when the devil attacks and brings adversity I can thank God for His deliverance, protection and victory over every work of the enemy.
