God is Great God is Good?

God is great,

God is good, 

Let us thank him

for our food.

This simple little prayer came to me from my long ago childhood. My dad was teaching us kids to pray. But do we really think God is great? That God is good? Do we have to thank him for our food? 

Seriously?

Some people don't think he is great or good. And yet, the bible tells us he is. 

But they are gravely mistaken. God is great. For look what he did. He created a wonderful paradise for us, only to have his human creations mess it up. His power goes beyond anything even known to man. How great is that?

And he is good. Because when man sinned, he didn't just toss him in to hell. Sure they and everyone that came after them, have sinned and pay the consequences for it, but his love is not conditioned on if we are bad or good. It is in spite of it. His love is unconditional. And to prove that, he sent his only Son Jesus to die for us. How good is that?

I call that pretty great. I call that pretty good. How about you? 

As for thanking him for our food? Of course, we should thank him for our food. And for every blessing that he has given us. Because he doesn't have to. He gives them to us because he does love us. 

Thanksgiving is coming up soon and this month is dedicated to the blessings that we have from God. But the thing is, we should be thanking him every day of our lives. For everything he has done for us. Not just one month out of every year. But instead, every day we live. Because we love him back.
