I read a book this week that talked about God and how important it is about the way think about Him. Some people view God with disdain and judgment. They have allegations about how God could do this or that. They say, "How could God allow the bad things He does? What about the horrific storms, floods, hurricanes, and famines that happen? How could a 'good God' allow these terrible things to happen?"
We need to realize that those things do happen but they are the exception.
Every day the world keeps going. The sun rises and sets, the rivers and oceans flow, the rain comes for the crops to grow, we have day and night, sweet families to love us, homes to live in, and vehicles to take us to the grocery store and churches to go to.
These are good gifts from God for which we should be thankful.
This is a quick challenge to get you and me to keep our eyes on the goodness of God. Remember all He has given you and the ways He has shown you his love daily.
If God gives us what we deserve we should be struck dead. Rather let us be thankful for His kindness and mercy. Let us not blame God or question Him but let us give Him thanks for (as the author put it) "the beautiful bouquet of gifts God gives every day."
Remember the many BLESSINGS we have EACH DAY!!
