Gratitude Daily - July 20, 2008

Good Sunday morning! A rare foggy day in July out here, not sure what the cause of that might be. Do we tend to attach more significance to some events than is actually present? Perhaps there is no cause to a foggy day other than the atmospheric conditions that produced it. It seems that in this life we have an inbuilt tendency to place significance on random events and miss the hand of God in smaller things. Hurricanes can cause widespread destruction, and we think that is surely some punishment from God, while a thunderstorm doesn't produce a tornado and we are not impressed enough to thank Him. We seem to miss so much that we should be thankful for in our lives. However, before I go jumping on all of us too much, let us not forget the one thing that we have all been thankful for on a daily basis... the gift of eternal life by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We might not remember to specifically state it each day, but I think in our hearts we rejoice daily in Jesus. No superstition needed in the day, only a knowledge of our gratitude toward the one who saved us from the curse of sin and death.

Praise the name of our Lord Jesus!
