I agree. I think we ARE spoiled. We take clean running water for granted. Sewer systems for granted. Pest control for granted. Hell, we take clothing, air conditioning, heating, cars and food for granted.
You take away any one of these things, and that can be a vector for some very nasty things, the absence of which we take for granted.
Man, I sure hope I don’t live to see it, but I have a sneaking suspicion we will. But that makes me a fear mongerer to point that out to some.
The point I hope to make is that these things are blessings of God and God bestows them for the “selfish” sake of His own glory.
Actually He isn’t “selfish” but He is jealous! And He has every right to be jealous. We want to be our own God and it always fails.
