It would be so easy to squander what we have at this present time. It may be that we have a niggling problem with our church. Someone or something is causing us frustration. It could be that we are concentrating on this problem and missing the blessings that are all around us. We could be frustrated by the way the word of God is being read (by a hesitant or unclear reader), instead of hearing what the Bible is actually saying to us. The message is for us to hear and obey.
We might not like the choice of hymns and miss out on a line of pure genius that cries out to our soul. Much prayer and heart-rending has gome into the writing and composing of these hymns and songs.
We have so much hear and learn from our churches. Sadly, I imagine a time when we may not be able to worship freely in our country. There could be a time when we couldn’t physically get to church because of infirmity and our internet connection might be poor. There are some Christians who have to worship alone and in secret. Give thanks for the early church which went through so much suffering to give us our present day churches and places of worship. While you have your church life do not squander it. Give thanks to God for it and do your small part to help it grow.
