I wonder if Israel appreciated those 40 years of peace, or if they focused on what they were missing in life? If they’re like me, they leaned toward the second option. 40 years of peace is a huge blessing. Think about it. When is the last time America has had 40 years of uninterrupted peace? It’s been a while… like never! And when we do experience blessings like extended times of peace, we forget about them. We take them for granted.

Today, I’m counting my blessings. It’s a good habit for someone who can fixate on what he’s missing and forget what he has.

What’s God teaching you?
