"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 NIV
"Every good and perfect gift is from above." Oh if we could remember this profound statement each and every day when we crawl out of bed and begin our day. When we do, our days would be filled with wonder and testimonies. The heaviness that so many experience would be lifted by the gracious gratitude that comes from understanding that everything in life is a gift from Almighty God. The emptiness that so many experience would be filled with a fullness beyond measure. The grumbling and griping that so readily flows from our mouths would be transformed into words of gratitude to the Lord.
Everything, in all of life, is a reminder to us of God’s great and awesome love for us. One of the greatest gifts that God has given to us is the gift of His creation. Everything in all of creation points to the One who made it all for His good pleasure.
God has given us the gift that none of us deserved, the gift of His Son. God knows our every deed before we were ever born. He knows the deepest secrets of our lives, the ones we pray nobody else finds out about; He knows the thoughts that ramble through out brain; greed, bitterness, hatred, selfishness, and the like. He knows all of this and more and yet He loves you so much He gave the Perfect Gift of His Son. Showcase the Gift to your world.
Further Scripture Study: Ephesians 2:8
Declare This: Thank You God for giving me the Perfect Gift. There is nothing I did to deserve this but You still chose to give me the Gift. I will ensure I let others know about this Gift in Jesus name Amen.
