Don’t Let What You Deserve Distract You From His Love.
If a restaurant offers to comp your meal for no apparent reason, you’re going to let them, right?
If the airline offers to upgrade you to first class just because they have an extra seat, you’re going to take it, right?
If your boss says to take tomorrow off to be with your family, you’re going to take advantage of the opportunity, right?
In each of these cases, you’re being offered something you don’t deserve. But you still have to be willing to receive whatever it is you don’t deserve.
This week in The Life and Lyrics of David, we’re looking at several characters that are tempted to behave according to what they think they deserve, asking ourselves if we’re pushing away what’s being offered because we think we don’t deserve it.
Homework
