Taking God for Granted

Mathew 6:25 & 26

Moot not for your life what to eat or drink,
Nor for your body what others may think;
Life is more than just meat and potatoes,
Or clothing covering from head to toes;
The birds in the air not sow neither reap,
But God provides food and time to sleep;
We are higher than them in the life chain,
Our Heaven Father renders again and again.
We really have it good in this day and age,
A plentiful milk and honey on life's stage;
We have plenty to eat and clothes to wear,
Salary and wages are really more than fair;
Living in a house that is cozy and quaint,
Still we squawk about life with a complaint;
Think about how you have truly been blest,
Unlike some African nations and the rest;
We are very fortunate and for God to thank,
Providing the means that we ate and drank;
Too much we take the Lord just for granted,
That he would bless everything we planted.
