Most of us would not ever think about not
giving God praise and thanks for the miracles and big things He does in our
lives every day.
But I wonder how many stop and take time in
their busy daily schedules to thank God for the little things He gives us.
That’s not really important you may say. Oh!
But yes it is important because what concerns us even in little ways also
concerns God in a big way.
Because He loves us and is not willing to
withhold any good thing from us even the small things.
How many times over the years I can count
that I have looked at my gas gage to see its showing empty because I had
forgotten to fill my tank the night before.
Yet it has been many years since I have had
to carry an n empty gas can to the next exit in search of a gas station.
How many times Mary and I have gone shopping
only to find that there was no parking space close to the entrance and one of
us would utter I wish something would open up that is a lot of steps and I don’t
feel like walking that far and suddenly
a space would become available.
Just the other day we were at Wal-marts and
the parking lot was full as always the store was filled with shoppers and there
were no empty carts available.
As we walked the short distance to the store
a lady came from out of nowhere and said to Mary, “here is your cart”.
How
many times I have passed up an item that I would have loved to buy because I
didn’t have the money to buy it. And within minutes or a few days someone would
give me that very thing free of charge.
I could go on and on writing about these
seemingly unimportant little things that our heavenly Father blesses us with
every day but I have already said enough to prove my point.
Yes we should thank God every day all day
long not only for the big things but also for all the little things He does for
us each and every day.
What is important to us is also important to
God and the Bible tells us that our heavenly Father will not withhold any good thing
from them that ask. And so many times we don’t even have to ask with our voice
the thought enters our mind and God hears us and grants our wish.
Coincidence you may say, I say no it is our
heavenly Father who loves us and wants to give us all good things to enjoy.
Even as we being good parents don’t want to withhold
any good thing from our children so is God.
Take time to praise God in all things and
thank God for all things though they are big or small.
And you will find that life is a joy to live
even through the bad times the sad times and the hard times.
Matthew 21:22
King James Version (KJV)
22 And all things, whatsoever
ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
James 1:17
King James Version (KJV)
17 Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
