Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

For Good Things

Sometimes we Christians can lose track of the many good things God has given us as part of His creation. We can think of nothing but avoiding over-indulgence or the wrong kind of indulgence.We can see God as some sort of cosmic killjoy who only wants to make us miserable. And this is not the case. Yes, we live in a fallen world where there is suffering and evil. But we need to keep that in perspective.

Father,

Thank You for the many good things You shower on us daily as part of Your creation. Help us to be grateful for the many innocent pleasures You have given us to enjoy. Help us to avoid misusing or abusing the things You have created. But also to enjoy them in appropriate ways in thanksgiving to You.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
