Are you taking God for granted? Are you taking His grace & mercy for granted? It's amazing how people take Him for granted. In turn, they take people for granted, also.
I think of the passage where Jesus was invited to dinner. As they were eating, a woman comes in with the alabaster box of oil and anoints Jesus. The host begins to criticize her. Some of Jesus' disciples does the same thing. But Jesus basically tells them that they are taking Him for granted.
She respects and honors the Lord enough to give her best for Him. The host didn't even offer Jesus water to wash His feet. That was, at the least, the norm due to wearing sandals on the dusty roads.
The host took Jesus for granted. The woman didn't. Are you taking Jesus for granted today? I ask you to closely examine your life. Do you take people for granted? If so, I would suggest you straighten that out today. It's time to do better, in Jesus' Name.
