Truckers have a saying: If you have it, it came on a truck.
Well, they’ve got a point. After all, what do you have that didn’t come on a truck? Not much. And their idea, I suppose, is that once we take note of all the benefits trucking delivers… we’ll be thankful… and grumble less about all the big trucks on the road.
Their slogan reminds me of 1 Corinthians 4:7, “What do you have that you did not receive?” Ultimately, everything we have came from God, whether tangible or intangible.
As I reflect on all that He’s given, one thing in particular stands out. It’s something all Christ-followers have received. Jesus said in John 6:46, “No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him.” If it were not for our Heavenly Father drawing us, we wouldn’t be following Christ! And where would that leave us?
O Father, thank You for providing redemption and forgiveness through the death of Your Son. But thank You for not stopping there. For I would not be Your worshiper if You had not also drawn me to Your Son. Everything I have received — even this drawing — is from You. How I thank You!
Blessings,
