Taken for Granted

The thought came to me one day, am I taking God for granted? After my early morning devotional, do I go around the rest of the day, watering my plants, sweeping my floors, preparing meals, without God continually in my thoughts? Yes, at times I do take God for granted. I take him for granted in the same way I took my parents for granted when I was a child. No matter what, I knew they loved me and would provide for me and protect me. Thoughts that they wouldn’t never entered my mind. Only later did I realize what they had sacrificed for me. Only then could I really understand and show my appreciation for their care. Much more than for our parents we can take God for granted, but let’s be sure to show him how grateful we are that we can.
