Be Grateful!

God commands the planets to orbit the sun and they obey!
He commands the earth to spin and it willfully follows His instructions!
He orders the plants to grow and be fruitful and they obey Him!
God then turns to us,
His greatest creation and says "Obey My commands."
And what do we do? We shake our little fists at Him in rebellion!
We refuse His commands and blaspheme His name!

Be grateful that God is long suffering!
Be grateful that His wrath tarries!
Be grateful that He has mercy on your soul in not punishing you today!

Next time something bad happens in this world, do not ask yourself:
Why does God allow bad things to happen?
Instead consider this:
Why does God not destroy us this very second for the sins we have committed against Him!?
