thanks
Wednesday
August 5th, Exodus 16: 4 Then the LORD said
to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to
go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them
and see whether they will follow my instructions. 5 On the sixth day they are
to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather
on the other days." God provides for everyone’s need, not everyone’s
greed. What the people found out was
that if they gathered more than a day’s worth, it rotted, it stank. On the sixth day they could get enough for
two days so they could rest on the Sabbath.
When we horde, it also rots, and rotting still stinks. It rots away in our garages and houses, true,
but mostly it rots away in our hearts and souls, and that is where the stink
comes from. Can’t come to church, I have
a boat; I have to go fishing again. And
just who do you think gave you the ability to get the boat in the first
place? A little thank you would be nice. Do we live in a world of “Mine” or a world of
“thanks?” Mine leaves an empty feeling
in your gut, thanks leaves singing in your soul.
