I for one love to have it both ways. (Don't we all?) When things go great, I want the credit, and any "Thank you, God" I might utter is pretty knee-jerk, sort of like a "God bless you" after a sneeze. But when things go wrong ... watch out, God! "Oh God, why are you doing this to me? What do you want from me?"
My challenge is to remember that it's ALL a blessing - from the glorious sunrise to the dark and wild storm; from the sweet smile from a dear one to the broken promise from a trusted friend; from the joy that bubles up from a hard-fought victory to the heart-wrenching pain from a blind-sided setback.
My point? Quit picking on God. If He's good, He's good (all the time)! A little trust. A little faith. Enjoy the day...and ALL its blessings!
"Some people ruin themselves by their own stupid actions and then blame the Lord." Prov 19:3 (GNT)
