Scripture:
2 Thessalonians 1:3 "We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater"
Observation:
I take so much blessing Lord give for granted. I can get envious of those who have more and even for Lord to bless the ones who shouldn't. But that is not my call. Every small and largest blessing should be taken with great respect. Anything he gives today can be taken away. Lord is fair God and he will bless and give accordingly, as to how much we can take and utilize fruitfully. Greed is no where near to God. Greed will only lead to destruction. I look at others who are unfortunate then me, wonder how could God bless me with so much. For the sinner and the individual that I am how can he bless me so much with his gifts and bare so much love for me? I realized that just having a family who love me, and having a roof over my head is such a gift that we should thank God everyday. There are natural disasters in East, where people are house less and live in horrific environment but yet they do not blame or mock God for what they have gone. I wonder how small person can I be to be complaining when I got more then I have. Blessing of his gift can be materialistic things, but more then that it is his love and salvation he has given me.
Application:
Give God thanks for even the smallest things in life, taking granted for being able to wake up tomorrow and live my normal routines is such a blessing. But we do not think about that as we go through our days. God's gift is not only monetary value, but unconditional love he shower me with and peace of mind he gives, that is the greatest gift that God has ever given. I shall thank for the smallest things in life, and let my heart be not greedy but grateful all the fruit and seeds he has planted in me to make his servant.
Prayer:
Amazing generous God, I thank you for so many things and everything in my life. You are molding me into beautiful servant, that is more blessing and greatness that I can ask. Father, you are giver, and you give accordingly, and one day you can give in abundance but you make those disappear. Father God, you have continually, consistently blessed me and my family. Not only with roof over our head but sanity of our faith, through much family feud and struggles with aunts and uncles. Father continue to keep our sanity, and through this times, help us to continue to seek you and give thanks. For you will never abandon us but shield us in all circumstance and provide accordingly. Father thank you for your love, for saving me, and giving me smallest gifts which I take for granted. Father you are amazing and you are awesome God. Continue to heal and mold my heart and to be a faithful servant who bring much glory and praise to your kingdom. Amen.
