Thankfulness causes me to acknowledge that the source of all I
have isn't me, but the Lord God. I don’t really need to occupy myself with pride
or guilt.
Sometimes I’m overwhelmed with the sheer volume of all that I
could be doing. When that happens I find that my focus is on that stuff and not
on the fact that having all those options is a blessing.
Because I have so much, I want to make the best possible use of
all of it. And down into the rabbit hole I go on a quest for better
productivity. Sure, being a good steward is a wonderful goal, but when it is to
the exclusion of enjoying life and appreciating the moment, then something has
gone awry. When I have the realization that becoming more productive has become
more important than becoming godly, then I know it’s time to reign it in. That’s
usually when I endeavor to refocus on all the blessings I have/experience/share
with others. It’s at these times that I remember Romans 11:36 – Everything comes
from the Lord.
