"For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and hills, a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land He has given you. Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His rules and His statutes, which I command you today, lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.' You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as it is this day."
- Deuteronomy 8:7-18

Now that it's Chinese New Year, everybody's wishing prosperity and good luck in their lives for the whole year. People sometimes tend to forget that every blessing that they receive comes from God. We will sometimes pray hard if we need something or if we needed help, but once we received what we're praying for, people forget to worship and even give thanks to Him. Every grace that we receive, comes from the power of God so it is just to give all the glory to Him and exalt His name so that all nations will know how powerful and generous He is.

Dear Jesus, thank you for this wonderful day that you have bestowed on me. Thank you for every minute that you make me happy, it may be an awesome day with my loved ones, or laughing at a funny show on tv. Thank you for taking away my worries and for always showing me that despite of my trials, life is still beautiful. Thank You that You made me enjoy this day and am looking forward to more happy days to come and for your abundant blessings to me soon. Rest assured, I will be sharing the blessings that You will bestow on me, Oh Lord. I will praise You and glorify Your name. Thank You and I love You.
