Psalm 85:12 (NIV)
12 The Lord will indeed give what is good, and
our land will yield its harvest.
The great economic and material prosperity we are enjoying
in the United States today is a gift of God’s hand. The Bible tells us that the
very goodness of God should lead us to repentance. All of these material
blessings are gifts from God, given in order that we might humble ourselves,
fall upon our knees before Him, and call upon His name. We should thank God,
too, for the spiritual blessings that are beyond the power of the human tongue
to describe.
Here in North America we still have freedom of worship. In
many parts of the world believers cannot assemble together; they cannot speak
of their religious convictions because of totalitarian power. Here in North
America we have Bibles everywhere. We have the opportunity to preach. God has
blessed us with a thousand and one spiritual blessings. In days of uncertainty
and confusion, such as we are now passing through, these are gifts that go
beyond our power to understand; and yet they are gifts of God that become ours
when we receive His Son as our Savior and Lord.
Thought for today:
Do you know your freedoms as well as your limitations?
