It's so easy to take God's blessings for granted. He sustains us in this world He maintains, and we foolishly presume it must be that way. I have failed God so badly and so often that I try not to take it for granted, food still tastes good, the air is still cold, and the sun still rises, and I consider these to be immense gracious blessings which I do not deserve. If He wanted to, He could change my existence to abject chaos and misery with a thought, and He would be absolutely just to do so. So I give thanks to God for His mercy and grace, and I praise Jesus Christ for making peace between me and Him.

It is all rather amazing. By and large we've become such dullards b/c of our own iniquities that we can hardly even grasp the very-obvious blessings that are right in front of our eyes -- indeed on every hand about us.

Thanks for the wonderful encouragement (on today of all days), that's both much-needed and much-appreciated! Cheers.  :)

Amen. It's just too easy to take our blessings for granted, and sooner than we the think we're petitioning with arrogance, tempting the Lord and drowning in blasphemy. Thanks for reminding me of this simple truth, I'm completely unworthy of the Lord's attention... let alone His mercy.
