James 1:16-17 “Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 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.“
(NASB)
Hello,
Sometimes my eyes play tricks on me. One of the most common
times is definitely at night when I think I may hear one of my kids get out of
bed. I go towards the stairs to see what is going on –and I think I see one of
them at the top of the stairs. So, I tell them to go back to bed…..only to
discover that there was no child there at all, just a shadow or nothing at all.
Our eyes do like to play tricks on us – where things are not as they first
appeared. God is not like this. There is no deception or tricks. His good gifts
are not a trap to lure us in, they are just good gifts. His nature is so pure,
that things from Him cannot move in mid-stream; they stay as they started. The
enemy – not so much. He likes to lure and deceive, he is the father of lies.
So, as we head towards Thanksgiving the first thing I would
like us to have gratitude for is the goodness of God and His nature of truth.
Have a blessed day,
