We use the phrase “take it for granted” as an insult. As something that we shouldn’t do. “Oh, she takes that for granted”… meaning, “she’s an ingrate”. But that’s *not* what the words mean.
Take it for granted. Granted. Granted is GIVEN. “I take this as given”. As it has been given to me.
Who gives? God gives. He gives richly. Should we thank Him for His gifts? YES. Can we possibly thank Him for all of them? No. Should we make an effort to thank Him for everything all the time? No. Because in so doing, we’re being Pharisees. We’re practicing a sensible discipline to help us develop gratitude and humility and sitting in it ad infinitum, never moving forward.
We should thank God. All the time, because He gives so richly that there’s always something new to appreciate. But put reverse this – do you want your kids to get up every day and thank you for the shoes on their feet? Every day? Every.Single.Day? No. If they came up to you and said, “you know, these shoes are so comfy and I really appreciate you taking me to the good shoe store so my feet don’t hurt – thanks, Mom!” randomly three months after you bought new shoes, that would make you warm and squishy. But as a ritual? “Thank you, dear mother, for the shoes on my feet”. Bleh.
We need to accept the gifts we’ve been given. To TAKE them as granted. To say, “Thank you, Lord Father” and not pretend He does take-backsies.
Sometimes rehashing old ground is … rehashing old ground, and not useful at all.

But yes. I like the way you titled this. And this bit:
