Good Words for Today: May 27
It is very easy for us to become complacent in the midst of the blessings of God. We secretly begin to think: Everything’s OK now; I’ve got life all wired up. My marriage is good, and my kids are good, and my job is good, and life is good, and I love my church. Everything in my life is exactly where I want it to be.
If that happens to be your situation at this moment, don’t feel bad about that. If your life is like that, you ought to enjoy it, and you ought to be profoundly grateful to God. But know these two things for certain:
1. You don’t deserve these blessings.
2. They won’t last forever.
The seasons of life always change. Enjoy the good times, but do not take them for granted.
