Consumer

I was reflecting today on that verse that says something about our not having because we want it to consume it on our own lusts. I kept thinking: what does that mean? And then, the Spirit reminded me of those times when God has in His grace provided me with a "windfall." Then, a few days later, I encounter an unexpected financial need--yep, just about the same amount as the "windfall" of the week before. Do I thank Him for providing for my need before it even arose? No, I gripe because the "windfall" can't be used on something I want.

We have not because we would use it on our own lusts. Guilty.

Oh, Lord, give me a thankful heart of gratitude!
