---WHAT GOD OWES US ~~

"Live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way;
bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of
God." --( Colossians 1:10)

~~A story is told about a vendor who sold bagels for fifty cents each at a street corner food stand. A jogger ran past and threw a couple of quarters into the bucket but didn't take a bagel. This went on for months. One day as he was jogging by, the vendor stopped him. The runner asked, "You probably want to know why I put money in but never take a bagel, don't you?" "No," said the vendor. "I just wanted to tell you that the bagels have gone up to sixty cents."

Too often we treat God similarly . Not only are we grateful what what He's given us--but we also want more. Somehow we feel that God owes us good health, a comfortable life, material blessings. God doesn't owe us anything, yet He gives us everything.

The Psalmist said, "This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24 / NKJV). That should be enough.

Each day, whether good or bad, is one more gift from our God. Our grateful response should be to live to please Him. ~~
