Like it has been for many people of 3rd world countries.

So sad to think of those who suffer the basic necessity of food and clean water when there is so much wealth wasted. But most people have a why-should-I-care attitude when it comes to 3rd world countries. Truly sad.

Yes! God owes us nothing, the only reason why we exist is because of his merci. We are only human beings, we are not as important as we may sometimes think.
Ive gone through pretty bad times, but i kept faith in God and praised Him just for keeping me alive and i came out on the other side, maybe with a bit less , physically, than i had at the start but so much more spiritually and mentally.

There is a particular scripture that God has been teaching me (I admit it is a learning process) to live by daily.....and before I mention the scripture I just want to add that while I have never suffered hunger as have these poor souls you're mentioning; we all have tragedy and sometimes terrible events that happen in our lives. I don't claim to understand all of the "whys" about everything; far from it; but I do know that God has seen me through some things when I just didn't know how I was going to be able to take another step. Anyway, here's my verse....
"I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content." Philippians 4:11
I've learned; or should say I am continuing to learn, that He is faithful to give me what I need and to provide me with peace and joy, regardless of my current happenings. I can fix my eyes on Jesus, and TRUST in His promises.....He's never let me down yet.

That bag of rice could save my life and the lives of my children. Yes, I would thank God every day.

Yes, God is worthy of praise even if I'm having a bad day... or a good day for that matter.

I would praise God if my fingers got cut off in an accident.

Only if I knew that somewhere back in America, fat-butted holier than thou christian people paid the equivalent of 800 dollars for that bag of rice... after the preacher skimmed his cut from the donations recieved.

I'll take a bag of rice anyday. I love rice. Instead of preaching about 3rd world countires, maybe you should go over there and DO something about it. It's easy to complain, it's harder to ACT.

"Every good & perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights" James 1:17--couldn't resist that one. LOL
