James 1:17-18
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
These verses are something to give praise to the Father about this morning. All good things come from God very simple to understand in verse 17. How many times do we let the blessings of God flow through us without giving thanks or praise to God. Every day all day long and with each breath God blesses us with we should be pouring out the praises to the one who is so giving...way more than we deserve. Our children, our homes, our money, our churches, our friends, and the list goes on and on. I wrote our but really all these things are God's he just lets us borrow them! I like to think of the perfect gift he has given us...Jesus Christ. If God never blessed us with anything else other than that perfect gift, his Son, that gift should be more than sufficient to get us through each day...thank you God! I also like the words "whom there is no variation or shadow of turning". God does not waver, He does not move to the right or to the left, He is the same everyday. A holy, Righteous, and Loving God. Think about that for a few moments. God does not move...we move from Him! In verse 18 it tells us God made us by His own word which is truth by His own will! Wow God made us because He wanted to! So He could love us! Stop and ponder that for a while! Why did God make us? So we could be a first amoung his creation. To worship Him! We are created in His image remember that.....nothing else is...that should tell us something right there!
God has blessed beyond belief...praise Him for that and never take it for granted!
