Don't take it for granted

We have sung this song often when we bring our offering during service, and we should take it to heart:

"We’re blessed in the city, we’re blessed in the field, we’re blessed when we come and go. We cast down every stronghold, sickness and poverty must cease. For the devil is defeated and we are blessed."

We are blessed!

I had to go to a Mental Health Clinical for nursing school, and it reminded me that we must be more appreciative of our life. God has kept us from so many things, and we have to be grateful. Everybody is not getting taught the Word, but we have been blessed to be able to hear God’s Word. So many times, we complain about our situation, but think about what God brought us from, think about how things could be worse. Be thankful and know you are blessed.

But the true blessing is serving God and living for God. When you pray to God, tell him thank you and that you are grateful. God has continuously shown his grace over us, and we can’t take it for granted.
