INGRATITUDE Monday – November 1, 2010
"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened." - Romans 1:21
In 1992, the movie “A Few Good Men” debuted. One of its stars was Demi Moore. Sony Pictures graciously sent an eight passenger Lear jet to her home in Idaho to fly Ms Moore to New York to attend the premiere of the film.
Moore promptly demanded that the studio send a second plane. The problem? The first one, she explained, was too small to carry all of her luggage without stacking bags on top of one another.
Her husband, Bruce Willis, also showed his ingratitude. He held up production of his own television show “Moonlighting.” He was filming a ski commercial and the studio sent a jet to rush him back to tape his show. Willis is said to have refused the jet hired by the studio because it was too small.
We need to be grateful for all the God has given us and not think we are “entitled” to better treatment. Today in prayer, confess any sin of ingratitude and be thankful to the Lord.
“Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness. I have never seen that clever men have been ungrateful.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God's Word: "People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy" - 2 Timothy 3:2
