“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; February 28, 2008

 

          When we think about the blessings from God, often the things that come to mind are those fun, pleasant gifts we receive.  Whether it’s the bonus check in the mail, the miraculous healing from a mysterious disease or that dream date that could turn into our spouse, when good things happen, it’s easy to praise God.  Yet, what happens when God blesses us with things that aren’t that fun –  things like giving us perseverance through patience or disciplining us to get us back on the right track – are we still as thankful?  When we experience these uncomfortable blessings, are we merely looking for a way of escape or are we looking for the lessons?

          God blesses us in so many ways, we should be thankful for all the good He puts in our lives.  The gifts from above might not be easy; but, they are good.  Years ago, the apostle Paul noted, “…in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” (I Thessalonians 5:18). 

          How has God blessed us this week?  Have we thanked Him for it?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
