“For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?” I Corinthians 4:7 NLT
We must guard against believing our blessings are our privilege or earned by our own merit. Today we walked by a political voting location where pollsters were about to shut down for the evening. Famous was met with acclaim, and compliments were made regarding his demeanor and grooming. He was winning votes across party lines! I take these remarks with gratitude knowing that I do take pride in his appearance and approachability. But first in my heart I give thanks for the blessing of having him in my life. I did not create this wonderful creature, and I am humbled that I get to share his existence.
I try to acknowledge every day that he is a gift. This allows my pet-owning duties to be less work and more honor. This should be the case in all of our endeavors. We must learn to translate the obligations in our lives into inspired celebrations.
Humble my heart and inspire me to see Your purpose in all that I do.
