—Nehemiah 9:16-21

Have you ever received a random gift and thought, “I don’t deserve this”? Perhaps a co-worker brought in your favorite cookies or your significant other presented you with flowers on an arbitrary Tuesday. When we think of our reaction to these types of gestures—how we feel gratitude and praise the other person for being so kind—it should spur us to examine how we respond to God’s never-ending grace. Do we react with love, gratitude, and praise when we wake up in the morning, when we eat the food that God has provided, or when we earn money by using the talents that He has bestowed upon us?
