Salt Lake Tribune columnist Gordon Monson talks about the dangers of publicly praising God for blessings.
It’s good to be thankful, especially in private, but better to remember that the Almighty also loves those who still suffer.
The problem with turning up the volume in any case of “God helped me” is that not everyone gets that help — if that’s the way the grateful want to view it. It’s not all that difficult — at least it shouldn’t be — to keep in mind those who didn’t supposedly gain God’s great favor in a specific way and to remember that one person’s triumph could be another person’s trouble. One person’s heavenly pinnacle is another’s hellish pain.It’s one of the great ironies built into a faithful existence — that the same praise from those who consider themselves blessed from on high can be poison for those who aren’t so specifically blessed.
