Every gift we receive from God should inspire us to be more earnest in following His will!

His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord.

- 2 Chronicles 17:6

Yes, it is so true that every gift we receive from God should inspire us to be more earnest in following His will. We need to be careful of our attitudes and pride. Watch our egos. I worked at a university for many years, I saw all the egos, so many think because they have a doctorate, they are so important, so above anyone else. So many lack humility today. So many live selfishly, thinking only of themselves and what they want. Not what God wants for us. We need to recognize God's hand in all, count our blessing, pray, be positive, loving, and joyful in His goodness!

The Mornings With God App today said, "There’s a bad kind of pride and a good kind of elevation. Some people become vain when they experience success. The temptation, when we first accomplish something significant, is to become proud. But success should make us humble. It should remind us that God is using us, entrusting us with something precious to help others, and blessing the work we do for Him. Every gift we receive from God should inspire us to be more earnest in following His will. Too often, as wealth and success come, people become so absorbed in these gifts that they forget the Giver. We should always remember that every blessing we receive is a sign of God’s care for us. This should lead us to love Him more and devote ourselves more fully to His work. If we see God’s hand in every new blessing, our hearts will be lifted up in the ways of the Lord." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/may/26

We need to be thankful for all and know where all comes from. It all comes from God! We must never forget that! Yes, every gift we receive from God should inspire us to be more earnest in following His will. We need to know all comes from God and His goodness. We need to be careful about pride, egos, and acting like we are someone above others. No one is. It is important that we are prayerful, grateful for all, stay positive, loving, and joyful in our Lord, it all comes from Him and He wants us to do His will, not ours, turn it over to Him and live with humility! We are called to be like Jesus Christ, He is our model, we need to radiate Him!
