Air is required for us to live so why is it that we just take it for granted? We feel good and comfortable at 98 percent oxygen saturation in our blood but below 90 we can feel the desperate need for more air. What if air was a commodity and some people could only afford 80 percent? Well it would be an uglier world because when I choked on my subway sandwich and my oxygen was 65, I was not patient or understanding at any level.
My 'extra' air now is provided at a cost to me but my true and ultimate supplier is God. He supplies all our needs when we need them, even if we overlook it with thanklessness.
Air, gravity, the rising and setting of the sun, and all the forces of nature are just small examples of what He freely gives to us everyday. Our ultimate free gift is His saving grace which we cannot buy or earn but which only Jesus paid the cost for each of us. Is your debt paid in full, pending or accumulating?
