When we talk about the general rule of demand and supply, we all know that: when something is regarded as important by the market and is very well demanded, then the price will most likely be pretty high.
The thing is, God works so very differently.
HE knows what we need most and because HE knows we can never be able to pay for such a need, HE gives it to us for free! And THIS is called God’s grace (refer to last sunday’s post)
[if God wants us to pay for every bit of air that we breathe, then no one will be able to afford it]
And for other things that are less ‘critical’ - in terms of our survival in life, like our house and clothes - we need to pay for them so that we learn how to be ‘responsible’
[we tend to value, appreciate and care for something more responsibly when we've paid a price for that something]
God gives us so much blessings though HE’s not ‘obligated’ to give them to us. We receive so much everyday and every second of our life, though we hardly ‘work for them’.
Let us learn to not take this everyday grace for granted.
Let us learn to always be grateful and thankful to God, our Creator, for the many grace and blessings we’ve received right until this very moment.
