Have You Ever Wondered?

Have you ever wondered why you were born at this time, in your generation? Why did you not live in the time of Noah, being swept away in the flood? Have you ever wondered why you were born into the family you have? Why were you not born into a family like Hitler or King Ahab or one of the people who had a large amount of offspring in many years past? Have you ever wondered why you were born of the nationality that you are? Why were you not born into another place across the sea? Have you ever wondered why you did not live at the time when people lived to be hundreds of years old and what that would be like? Have you ever wondered why you were put in the place you are surrounded by the friends you have? Have you wondered why you live in our day and time when medicine and health discoveries are so great and abundant? Have you ever wondered why you were placed in this United States where we have so much of everything, the ease at going where we want to go and do what we want to do and not in a third world country that struggles for the necessities of life? Have you ever wondered why you were given the opportunity to hear a saving message about Jesus Christ, while so many have heard so little, if anything at all? Have you ever wondered why were you allowed into the truth, when so many have no clue about the truth? Have you ever wondered why God granted you entrance in His eternal kingdom when so many are doomed? Have you ever wondered why God would ever give a hint of hearing toward one of your prayer requests? Have you ever wondered, after thinking about these things seriously, why we are not in prayer thanking our Lord and Father for why we are where we are, who He has surrounded us with and the thankful heart for being given the spiritual blessings in Christ? Well, what are you waiting for?
