Spoiled Brat

"And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father."Ephesians 5:18-20

Have you ever acted like a little spoiled brat where you have so much to be grateful for like a cozy home, wonderful spouse, many abundant opportunities but because of comparison you get your eyes off God and his goodness and start acting like a bratty child. I feel this is compounded by your social media accounts. 

Why is it we have to look at our neighbors grass, his boat, his new remodel job, his trip to an exotic island, and all the other things where it seems like this person is having the best life ever when you forget your purpose here is to be hands and feet of Jesus not be wanting more and more of what the world sees is important. 

Married ladies reading this thank your husband for his hard work which is often overlooked. Find ways to serve others rather than always thinking someone needs to pamper and coddle you to be happy. Everyone in America should be grateful just for living in the greatest nation on Earth where anything is possible. Don’t forget, to God be the glory. 

PRAYER: Lord you are good and your mercies are new every morning. Thank you for where I am in life and help me help others and not be a complaining whiner. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
