I was taking a shower the other day,(weird way to start, I know, but bare with me), and I was geting frustrated at the fact that I couldn't get the temprature level right. I turned the left nob about an inch and it got too hot. I turned the right nob and it got it too cold. Over and over again, until 5 mintues later it was just right.....until my wife flushed the toilet:)
I smiled to myself because I remembered a bathroom of a family I built for earlier this summer. The bucket on the right is their shower. The half a toilet on the left is their toilet. The floor is rocks. The building is a shack. This has led me to ask the question over and over...Why? Why God? Why do I get luxury? Why do I get an amazing place to take a shower and the choice of the perfect temprature? I could just have easily have been born into this mexican family. I could have been born with no oppurtunity.
I can't really answer this question. By God's soveriegnty am I where I am. According to his infinite knowledge and purpose he has given me all that I have. But I do know one thing. He has given me all that I have for his purpose. It would be a crime if I didn't use the wealth, luxury, and rescources God has given me to show his love to others who were placed in poorer circumstances the my circumstances. All I have is for him.
