Keep Me Grateful, Lord.
Proverbs 27:7
One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.
It’s possible to eat so much of something good that we begin to take for granted not only that very thing, but that we grow weary of all things, and are disgusted by the “simpler” things. But of those who are not as providentially blessed as we are, everything is seen as a gift of life. Beware the good things in life, lest you have your fill of good things and despise them.
O, Lord, that You would keep me humble, and always aware of my great need for You. May I never be filled with blessing to the point I take Your kind hand of providence for granted and not be grateful for all the things You so freely give.
