God Gives

God told His people who were preparing to enter the promised land, "It is NOT for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess this land..." (Deut.9:4,5). God's people were a "stubborn people" (vs.6). Good for me to ponder that God's graciousness and NOT my righteousness is the source of blessing. God still gives when we don't deserve it.
