Continual Gratitude
“But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes” Numbers 11:6
In today’s verse, God had been sending Manna from heaven to feed the Israelites. One would think that they would remain in awe of how God kept raining down this special heavenly delicacy that was able to feed thousands of people every blessed day. But after a while, it just became commonplace and even boring to them.
Every morning they would witness God’s miraculous provision right before their very eyes, yet they wanted something else, something more! They wanted something better!
At times, even we can get accustomed to our blessings so quickly!
It is said that if the stars came out only once a year, everybody would stay up all night to behold them. But we have seen the stars so often that we don’t even bother to look anymore!
Let’s be sure not to take God’s provisions lightly though we see them on a daily basis!
Let’s examine our hearts and determine to appreciate the goodness of God’s provision upon our lives every day.
Truly, we are blessed and we thank you Lord for your goodness!
