James 1:17: "Every good gift and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."
This is a wonderful verse, a certain reminder of the reality of our dependence upon God for every good thing. It is quite often the case in life that when good gifts come we are prone to rationalize these providential pleasantries as if we deserve them or even that we've earned them in some way or another. But the reality is that it is God Himself who blesses us with every good and perfect gift from above. More than anything, then, when we perceive or realize the great gifts in our lives are, in fact, from God and we should, in turn, praise Him! Praise God, then, for all the blessings that He has blessed us with in His name and in His good pleasure!
