Forgotten Gratitude

Cartoon of a growling dog and guy. The boy says, “€œHey! Have you forgotten who feeds you?”

This cartoon is based on Psalm 104:24-30.

My wife got a rude surprise the other day. She wanted to put our dog up for the night, but the pooch didn’t want anything to do with it. Perhaps she was guarding one of her bones, or she just didn’t want to move. Whatever reason, she bit my wife. I had fallen asleep. I awoke to a very angry voice cry, “Bad dog!” Unfortunately, our dog literally bit the hand that fed her.

Psalm 104 paints a beautiful picture of how the Lord provides for us. It says that every creature depends on God for survival. Sometimes, people forget that is just as true for them as it is for the sparrow.

Today, let’s think about all the good and perfect gifts the Lord provides for us.
