Attitude of Gratitude
"And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 29:5-6 NKJV) It is difficult to live in our world where economy is driven by the spending power of its citizens without getting infected with skewed priority in the assessment of needs. And unless the economy is recessed or we are in the wilderness, like the children of Israel, our wants will always appreciate beyond the level of our needs. Man often want changeable clothing and varieties in food menu; while our needs are simply not more than covering and sustenance for the body. But if we can maintain an attitude of gratitude, trusting in the proficiency of God with his promises, we would always be grateful even when only our sufficient needs are provided.
