Psalm
78:20
Behold,
he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can
he give bread also? Can he provide flesh for his people?
Brittany
wanted a car, and she got a car. She wanted to go to an expensive college. She
wanted her nice clothes, a stereo, a microwave, a television. There was no end
to Brittany's wants. Nothing satisfied her. No matter how much she was given,
she wanted more.
We
need to be careful that we don't approach God that way. God wants us to truly
appreciate what we have before we go asking for more. He gives good things to
His children, and He is willing to give abundantly, but He desires us to learn
the real meaning of thankfulness.
Prayer:
Dear God, make me appreciative of all the wonderful gifts You give. When I take
things for granted, show me the error of my ways. Fill my mind and heart with
gratitude for the many blessings I have. Amen.
