Hello Everyone,
I want to share with you an experience I recently did.
Some days ago I opened the Bible and read about the answer of God to Job at chapters 38-39. As I was reading I've realized that these chapters were full of descriptions of God's works related to nature. When I finished reading it, I started to think a lot about the way God answered to Job.
I started to think about nature in itself and how many times nature has been mentioned in the Bible.
Some time later, when i was praying, I've felt in my heart to start thanking God in a very special way: I started to thank God for specific things: instead of saying "Thank You God for the Day" , I started to thank God for the clouds,the heaven,the mountains,the rivers and so on...
At first it seemed odd to me,coz actually I 've never prayed like this before,but i knew it was something coming from the inside,a new way of thankfulness to God.
I started to wonder why i did it so and some days later I've come to realize something very special to me : being thankful to God had become a spiritual enlightment to me in which all the little things I just took for granted are part of a special work of God's sovereignty in my life.
Since that moment on I've realized that what I took for granted it's not so for many people.Before doing this experience, I was thankful for all these things but not in the deeper way as this means to me now. As I started to think about this spiritual experience, I've realized how many things around me are made of a wonderful maker.I've realized how much thankful I should be everyday for what I have...and not taking things for granted...
I started to think that having the ability to wake up in the morning or having water or electricity in the house are not things we must have:it's God's gifts ...I've come to realize that every little thing in nature has been made by His wonderful wisdom and power...and so the answer God gave to Job was clearer to me now ... Everything around us has been made to express God's living essence for us...It's something I've never thought about it this way ...
If I live in a house,that it's not for granted in life.. It's just God's unmerited favor... If I have good health,it's not for granted,It's God's unmerited favor...
All of this has led me to appreciate and value the talents and the worth people have in a new and deeper way.We can surely realize that people around us are precious for God in a deep and wonderful way I can't comnpletely understand...
I've come to realize how important is to make use of what we have and of our relationships in a good way according to God's will..
It's not for granted... It's His favour..Unmerited Favour...
It's not about us,but it's about Him..It's about His Love...
" ...For You formed my inward parts,You wove me in my mother’s womb.I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Wonderful are Your works,And my soul knows it very well..." (Psalm 139: 13-14)
