Count your blessings. You see because God gives us the little things & allows certain situations to see how we’ll respond to them. Are we truly grateful or totally unappreciative like a spoiled brat? However we then act according to our conduct conveying our character & attitude speaks of if we can be entrusted in his eyes with the capacity to handle receiving the bigger blessings & whether or not we really deserve having any better. How can one expect to obtain an abundance of currency if one doesn’t value just a penny? How can one desire the honor to stand highly above upon the cap of the mountain but not perceive the significance of the gravel provided from which they crawl on through the rigid valleys. How may one long to soar in the wind like the eagle if they so forsake the very air they breathe? Even more so how can one wish to sparkle as the stars if they forsake the darkness that magnifies their light.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Well said.
