A widow said something that got me thinking some days ago. She called herself "just a priviledged dust". How true. Have you considered the fact that God had the discretion to make us human beings or leave us as the dust of the earth from which we were taken. I can't help wondering why the Lord God decided to make me a man,and in His image instead of mere dust. As if that is not enough,from the womb,He brought me safely into this world while many of like passion were stillborn. On earth,He nurtured me with food and water which I take for granted.
Food- the same food I eat everyday. It has dawned on me even cost God something to prepare for me. If He didn't send rain in due season,how would the farmer's crop yield. Without His sun shinning,what would make the seed grow into a plant. Without the strength He gave the sons of men,who would have prepared the yields of the farm for me to eat.
And water,
As if He hasn't done enough,He added "and I will bless your food and water,and remove sicknesses from you".
Yet I have eaten and drank and have been satisfied and sometimes taken His provision for granted and without thanksgiving to Jehovah Jireh.
I can't help but think about the poor of the earth who do not get in a week,what I feed on in a day. Yet,many are more thankful than I.

Lord,make me realize that my life is a book that will be read all eternity,make me realize that I can make amends this side of eternity,make me conscious that my days are numbered and while I yet can to always,always lift up my eyes in thanksgiving to the King who has given me so,so much.
Peace!
