You've had this happen to you. Something goes wrong and you say, there it goes again! Something happens and you say whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. But, when things go right, do you ever stop and say, hey, there it goes again! No, we tend to take for granted all the good things; we do not give thanks. We dwell on the things that go wrong. One thing goes wrong, and that is all we think about. The Bible says, you are a child of God; you are blessed. Your life is not characterized by the bad. The next time something good happens say, hey, there it goes again! How about the sun comes up; there it goes again! You have breath, there it goes again! Hey, you can walk, you are in good health there it is again! There is food on my table there it is again! "Thank you God!" I have clothing; there it is again! Stop and thank God for all those blessings and you will start seeing more and more blessings and reasons to thank God for. Everywhere you look, you will see a blessing.
From Message #496 - The Gift of Barnabas
Today, make it your aim to take nothing for granted - but to thank God for every good thing.
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
