You can hardly appreciate what you got so cheap. Ingratitude for and abuse of God's blessings are usually deeply rooted in 'getting blessings so cheap or too soon.' Whatever you labour for will most likely be appreciated, maximized and thankful for.
A young person once reacted to marital advances towards her, "God, did I ask you for a proposal!" However, should God seal off the heavens that there should be no more rain of such blessings until her late 40s, then the narration would change! Her blessing came so cheaply. It came too quick.
Sometimes God decides to take us through some "inconveniences" to shape us and not topple us. Sometimes, he delays our blessings intentionally to build us and not to break us. Most of the time, going through such "uncomfortableness" is a huge blessing although it may not look like it now. Those things that look like setbacks are actually setups for your elevation. If you don't go through challenging situations in life, how light you are!
Go through some stuff. We have been conditioned as the "bread and butter" generation of Christian to think any form of inconvenience is a demonic attack on us. No. Not all seemingly negative incidences in our lives are demonic attacks. Many of them are links to our destiny.
In those days in the village whenever we were to go to the farm to work and it was about raining, we children would like to complain, hiding under "rain" as an excuse not to go to the farm. "Dad, it's raining." His response would always be, "Do you have holes in your head?"
Go through the rain of life; you don't have holes in your head. Go through the scorching; you're not shea butter. God, sometimes, intentionally uses the challenges we passed through to build us so that we can be able to give others the comfort that God has given to us when they're also troubled.
Storm in our life is glory announcer! It was Goliath that put David on the map. The Rea Sea that announced Moses. Jordan announced Joshua. Widowhood announced Ruth. Insufficient wine in a wedding ceremony announced Jesus. Median oppression announced Gideon. Pharaoh's puzzle announced Joseph.
May nothing chase you in life when there's no Red Sea in view. The glory is planted in the Sea. When Israel got to the Rea Sea, she wanted to retreat. God said to her, "Go through it." The victory will come through the Sea. The glory is right there in the storm. The promotion will come through the challenges. The expansion will come through the toughness, and roughness, and hardness, and tightness, and, and...my God!
Stop mourning your situation. Your case is not the most pitiful one. God is only passing you through some storms designed for your making. I do pity people who rarely encounter frictional forces in life. That's not how life is designed.
You need storms to glide. You need the storm to push you higher. Storm pushes the eagle up. Stop circumventing challenging situations. Your elevation will come through it!
