As citizens and residents of the United States of America, we are called to recognize the great blessings and opportunities that God has granted us. These things are gifts that are not to be taken for granted – rather, we pray that God would preserve these blessings among us as we manage them responsibly for the good of our neighbors. As the people of God, we are reminded of an even greater gift we have received: His life-giving Word. The residents of Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown, took His presence among them for granted and missed out. May God grant us with humility to hunger for His Word and to receive it with joy, never taking His gifts for granted.
