Ecclesiastes 6;1 - 3, “ I have seen something else unfair here on earth. It causes serious problems for people. God gives some people great wealth, riches and honor. They have everything they want. But God does not let them enjoy such things. Someone else enjoys them instead. This is unfair and senseless. It is sad when a person can’t enjoy the good things God gives him. Such a person might have 100 children. He might live a long time. But what good is it if he can’t enjoy the good God gives him?”Solomon writes that we see this as unfair. Our Creator pours out His blessings on us and we reject those blessings. Maybe Solomon is right, this does seem unfair to our Creator. When we don’t take advantage of the blessings He gives us, is it His fault? No! We have the responsibility to recognize and accept the gifts our Creator offers us. When we reject those gifts and blessings the outcome is our fault. Living the way we are designed to live helps us to see and use those blessings to improve our lives and shelves of the people around us. What will you do with yours?
Amen! A thankful heart is a happy heart.
Thought for Today: Tuesday June 21:
Give YHVH the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Take nothing for granted, not even the rising of the sun. Before satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, thankfulness was as natural as breathing. Satan’s temptation involved pointing Eve to the one thing that was forbidden her. The Garden was filled with luscious, desirable fruits, but Eve focused on the one fruit she could not have rather than being thankful for the many good things freely available. This negative focus darkened her mind and she succumbed to temptation. When you focus on what you don’t have or on situations that displeases you, your mind also become darkened. When that happens, you will take life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, blessings and countless other gifts from YHVH for granted. You will look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is fixed. BUT, when you approach YHVH with thanksgiving, the Light of His Presence pours into you, transforming you through and through. Walk in the Light with Him by practicing the discipline of thanksgiving.
