A quick thought this time.
A few weeks ago I was at work getting ready to go home and I
got a text from my wife. She was going to be preparing supper and realized that
she didn’t have one of the ingredients she needed. The text asked if I could
stop and pick up the missing item on the way home.
Now maybe it is because my wife is a great cook and I knew
how much I was looking forward to what she was going to make, or maybe it is
just because I love my wife so much, but I was glad to help. Literally, I felt
a sense of joy that I could help her out. I knew that she would appreciate it
and that I would benefit from it and that it would make her happy, and it made
me happy.
Upon reflection I believe that this is a microcosmic example
of how we should relate to God. He does ask us to do things from time to time,
and sometimes it may seem inconvenient. But if we are really, truly, in a
right relationship with God. We know that obeying Him will make Him happy and will
benefit us. If we can get to this place spiritually, them it will bring us joy
to help Him out.
I don’t always keep the appropriate perspective, but I do
thank God for the little reminders like this that help me understand things
better. If you keep your eyes open, I think you will find that He drops these
little reminders all around us.
God Bless,
Chief
