Entry 137: Dear Father, Thank You for the good gifts
As followers of Jesus, we might find it easy to take credit for talents we possess, leadership skills we display or even for our kind deeds to others. But those qualities are possible only because of God' grace. In Jeremiah 9 we find the prophet lamenting the lack of humility and the unrepentant hearts of the people. He wrote that the Lord says we shouldn't boast of our wisdom, our strengths or our riches, but only that we might understand and know that He is the Lord who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth. Our hearts fill with gratitude as we realize the true identity of the True Giver. Father Almighty from Whom all things come from. Ever good and perfect gift is from the Father (James 1:17). All of the credit all of the praise belongs to the Giver of good gifts. Dear Father, Thank You for the good gifts. You so graciously give. We are created to give God glory.
