10% Give Thanks…
Ever wondered why certain things are stated in scripture?
Example:
Jesus healed 10 Lepers, 1 returned to say thanks. I read that and one of the lessons we can teach and learn from that is that we should give gratitude to God. Simple lesson.
However, an interesting point. The “1” who returned is a foreigner or in The Message paraphrase, an outsider. Why is that stated? Why is that so important?
Maybe it is because the regulars in the area, kind of expected God to heal them. Routine.
Kind of like us God “regulars”. Our God amazement factor dwindles.
When the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. We are used to it. It will happen tomorrow as well. My next breath will happen. Routine.
Tell God thanks today.
1 in 10 gave thanks.
Be an outsider.
Love,
Duane
