April 2 – Grateful for All the Wonderful Things God Created

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude….1 Timothy 4:4  

In the beginning God—Jesus—created the heavens, the earth, the light, the seas, the vegetation, the separation of light and darkness, all creatures and beasts… God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 1:31. It is amazing all the things God created. This passage in 1 Timothy and similar ones including 1 Corinthians 10:23-33, is concerning eating or rejecting particular foods. We should be willing to eat anything that is put before us…but I’m not sure I could eat bird’s nest soup. It is suppose to be good for the immune system…and very expensive at up to $100 per bowl. Well, since it is cooked, I could give it a try, although I think that my money could be better spent in other ways. Reject nothing—and receive everything with gratitude.  

Training Tip – with your family make a list of all the good things God created. When you get to 100—stop and be amazed with everyone how long the list is and how great God is. Pray together and thank Him for all the good things He created. 

Lord Jesus, Thank you for all the wonderful things You created. Help me to remember that everything You created has a use and all foods are good to eat.
