I love
the emphasis included in this about the way that we receive things being
important. There are so many things in
our lives that, if we receive them by the Spirit, we can benefit. But those very same things, if we receive
them in some other way, we do not benefit from them.
One
that comes to mind off the top of my head is science. Science is a blessing to our lives, it has
brought technological achievement and comfort and access to information and
countless other blessings. When we
receive these things with gratitude and the Spirit, we are blessed by
them. But when we abandon the Spirit it
is easy to allow ourselves to be swayed into a reductive materialistic (and
ultimately atheistic) worldview that brings nothing but misery to our lives.
