VERSE:
But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the
ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he
swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
-- Deuteronomy 8:18

THOUGHT:
As we enter the month often associated with giving thanks, this
reminder from Moses is an important one! We so easily forget to
give thanks when things are going well. It's easy for us to whine
and ask God to help us when we are in trouble, but we often feel
like we "deserve" the good things that happen to us. God reminds us
that what we have is simply a confirmation of his grace and his
faithfulness to do what he has said. We need to remind ourselves,
and each other, that the blessings we have come from his hand and
not because we deserved them more than someone else.
PRAYER:
Generous Father, forgive me for my forgetfulness. Deep down I
know I don't deserve all the good things you have poured into my
life, yet I sometimes find myself thinking that I've earned them.
Use your Spirit to forge in me a heart like Jesus, who did deserve
everything good and yet gave it all up to come to earth and give me
the greatest gift imaginable -- the gift of your salvation! Thank
you so much for this gift of grace and the many other undeserved
gifts that you have lavished on me. In Jesus' name I thank you.
Amen.
