My son,
The problem does not lay with the blessings I have given you. Having your needs met and many wants satisfied is not the problem. Comfort and stability are not the issue. Health, friends, peace, and all the other blessings I have given you are also not the trouble. The problem lays in your worship of the blessings. I have given you every blessings for you to enjoy. While you bask in the blessing continue to worship me with a grateful heart. Often instead of honoring me and my provision, you worship the gifts I have given you, even to the point of becoming petty, protective and bitter when you think your comforts are being threatened. Do you not remember the children of Israel in the Old Testament? Once they got into the promised land they turned their back on me and began to worship idols. Do you not realize that they began to value the gifts I had given them more than me long before they bowed down to idols? Keep your focus on me! Worship me! Seek me first, with a grateful heart for every gift that has been given to you.
Giver of All Good Gifts, I AM
Verses for consideration: James 1:16-18, Deuteronomy 32:15-22, Isaiah 42:1-9
