A Special Treat

If you're as old as me, you remember when getting a soda pop was an occasion of note.  Now, people drink it like water. 

When you have access to something every day, it's not that exciting any more.  It is ordinary

Yesterday, the dogs in the kennel got a couple bites of chicken.  I am extremely popular right now.

When we are comfortable with our every day lives, God doesn't seem that important.  "Yeah, He's there, big deal."  But when a crisis hits....we wonder, we accuse....

God is far from ordinary.  He's supernatural.  He fulfills our daily needs as well as picks us up in emotional ways we can't explain.  Yet we can't take our access to God lightly.  As intimate as He wishes to be, He is also holy and perfect.

He desires to give us good things.  Special things.  Things only God can provide.
