Psalms 106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. I want it! Bianca screamed. Her father turned to where the little girl stood red-faced and defiant. He looked at her and said, I dont want to hear another word. I bought you a toy last week, and I told you not to ask for anything else. Youve had ice cream and I took you to see the pets, now you straighten up. Do you understand? Whether Bianca understood or not may still be in question, but her behavior is all too familiar. Some of us want what we want when we want it, and we really dont care whether were being ungrateful or not. God has showered us with blessings, and sometimes we stand defiantly demanding more. God is willing to give us many good things, but not when we refuse to value what weve got. Christian maturity requires that we learn to be satisfied with what we have. It is pleasing to God when His children say Thank You, instead of More.
