What Has God Given Me Lately?

What has God given me lately? I think the question to ask is, "What hasn't He given me?!"

First and foremost, God sent His only Son into this world to die for my sins- that if I will repent of my sins and place my trust in Him, I can have eternal life. What greater sacrifice could one ask for? As a wretched sinner, God has allowed me to live under grace for another day.

Also, I have God's Word compiled neatly, at my fingertips. This is not something the early church had. I have excellent teachers and commentary to teach me about the Word.

I have loving parents and siblings. I have wonderful friends. I have a beautiful, loving and caring wife.

I have my health. Unlike some less fortunate, I have both of my arms and legs. I have my mind. I have comfortable clothing.

I have tons of freedom in the country I live in. I have the freedom to practice my own religion (or lack there of). I have freedom of speech and press.

God has provided me with a roof over my head. Some may want to squabble because they live in an apartment (as I do) and not a house. My apartment has air conditioning, heat, hot water, electricity, Internet access, and other amenities. If I am too hot, I can turn a dial and get cooled off in a matter of minutes. Likewise, if I am too cold, I can turn the dial the other way and get warm in a matter of minutes. I have clean, hot water to shower with every day. I have soap to keep me clean.

I have electricity which runs everything in my apartment. I have appliances that keep food fresh for weeks, if not months. I have a comfortable, warm bed to sleep in every night. I have a cell phone and computer that enables me to talk to people practically anywhere in the world instantly. I have a car that enables me to travel short and far distances alike in short periods of time.

I have toothpaste to keep my teeth clean and strong, so they don't fall out.

I have abundant food that is very afford-ably priced. I don't even have to make the food myself- I can purchase it pre-made if I so desired.I have an oven that can cook practically any food I want in a matter of minutes or hours, prepared to perfection because of temperature controls. I have access to food grown and made all around the world right at my fingertips. I am so spoiled, I even have candy and sweets.

I can purchase things from hundreds or thousands of miles away and get them overnight or in a few days. I have instant access to news happening all around the world, with pictures and video.

These are just a few of the things God has given me. The list goes on and on. I don't know how anyone could not be thankful for what God has given them- and most of the world isn't even saved, yet He continues to bless them. Wake up, repent and surrender you life to Jesus if you haven't already done so!
