Every Perfect Gift

"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." 

James 1:17

God gives bountifully out of His grace and love. All around us are the signs of His generosity. Beautiful scenery, food on our tables, roofs over our heads. Unlike shifting shadows, such as those we see in the mountains, God is constant, never changing. We can always depend upon Him. What a glorious God we serve!

God of the Harvest

'They do not say in their heart,

         "Let us now fear the LORD our God,

         Who gives rain in its season,

         Both the autumn rain and the spring rain,

         Who keeps for us

         The appointed weeks of the harvest." 

Jeremiah 5:24 

Jeremiah the Prophet confronts the Israelites in their refusal to acknowledge God. They did not consider that He had faithfully provided the harvest. Instead, each went his own self-centered way, neglecting to worship God. Reflect on what God has provided and thank Him for His generosity. He deserves our praise.
