I have started this game with my son Isaac, let me rephrase that… Isaac has started this game with me. Here’s how it goes… He picks up a toy and throws it down on the ground, I then proceed to pick up the toy and give it back to him, he then takes the toy and throws it down on the ground, I then pick up the toy and give it back to him, where he then takes the toy and throws it down on the ground, etc. This process continues for about the next ten minutes until we are both worn out…

This reminded me of our relationship with God from time to time. He gives us an opportunity that we practically beg him for (i.e. , we then take that great opportunity and we begin to throw it down (talk bad about it, or be unthankful for it), He being the good God that He is, (also knowing what is best for us) then picks the opportunity up again and (At this point we are usually even less dignified that my 9 month old, (usually after we are kicking and screaming)) he gives it back to us. Of course, then we throw the opportunity back down again, etc. and the cycle continues.

The big difference is that God never gets tired of picking up our mess and for lifting us up out of it!

Be thankful for where you are TODAY!

Bless You,

David
