Reflection - Vernon Grounds - Joy On The Journey

Source (book): "Classic Gem: Timeless Devotions from Our Daily Bread Authors", Chapter 71, "Joy On The Journey", Page 81.

The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. - Psalm 145:9
PHOTO: The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. - Psalm 145:9
Read: Psalm 145:1-2

What the evangelist said shocked many in his audience: "
Heaven is my home, but I'm homesick." He wasn't downplaying the anticipation we should have for heaven. Rather, he was reflecting the truth that our heavenly Father wants us to enjoy with gratitude the good things He has provided for us in this world. This old Jewish proverb reinforces the idea: "In the judgment, a man will be held accountable for every blessing he refused to enjoy."

For those who are near the end of life, are lonely or depressed, or whose bodies are weak and disease-ravaged, it is understandable that they long for the indescribable blessings of the land of no more heartache, pain, and tears. But as Christians, we certainly must not disregard the daily mercies and the rich bounties our Father gives to us. The Bible says that God "
richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment" (1 Timothy 6:17). His goodness is shown to all mankind in "rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy" (Acts 14:17). In other words, all of us, even non-Christians, are able to enjoy much of life's goodness.

Yes, heaven awaits us, but God wants us to be glad and enjoy all His goodness as we journey homeward.

God is good to all people in some ways and to some people in all ways.

Reflection - Vernon Grounds - Undeserved Blessings

Source (book): "Classic Gem: Timeless Devotions from Our Daily Bread Authors", Chapter 70, "Undeserved Blessings", Page 80.
By Vernon Grounds, Our Daily Bread Author
 
 
God . . . has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3
PHOTO: God . . . has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3
 
Tennis superstar Arthur Ashe died of AIDS, which he contracted from a blood transfusion during heart surgery. More than a great athlete, Ashe was a gentleman who inspired and encouraged many with his exemplary behavior on and off the court.

Ashe could have become embittered and self-pitying in the face of his disease, but he maintained a grateful attitude. He explained: "
If I asked, 'Why me?' about my troubles, I would have to ask, 'Why me?' about my blessings. Why my winning Wimbledon? Why my marrying a beautiful, gifted woman and having a wonderful child?"

Ashe's attitude rebukes those of us who often grumble: "
Why me? Why is God allowing this to happen?" Even if we're suffering acutely, we must not forget the mercies God pours into our lives - such things as food, shelter, and friends - blessings that many are deprived of.

And what about spiritual blessings? We can hold the very Word of God in our hands and read it. We have the knowledge of His saving grace, the comfort of His Spirit, and the joyful assurance of life everlasting with Jesus.

Think about God's blessings and ask: "
Why me?" Then your grumbling will give way to praise.

God never stops giving us reasons to praise Him.
God . . . has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3
Read: Habakkuk 3:17-19
