The message from the accounts of Israel in the wilderness?
Ingratitude.
Un-thankfulness.
Entitlement.
And I suppose we today are even less thankful than they were then.
Furthermore, unlike so many other things we can (and should) ask God for in prayer, thankfulness is not something God gives us, but, on the contrary, something that we truly give to God.
Father, You ARE my God and I AM thankful. I want my life today to show my gratitude!
My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. [Psalm 57.7-10]
