ditto for blessings

corollary to yesterday:  
in the same way we need to be careful of exalting a sacrifice itself, and not the freedom for which it was intended, we need to be careful not to take joy in a blessing itself, and not the price paid to make it possible.

"Woe to me if I exult in any blessing of any kind at any time, unless my exulting is an exulting in the cross of Christ"
~ John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life (p. 54)
