Every good thing that we receive in life, no matter how it comes to us, is a blessing from God. We need to recognize the truth of this principle. What does the Bible teach us?
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. (Jas 1:17 NKJV)
This verse clearly supports the premise that I offered in the first sentence of this article.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! (Mt 7:11 NKJV)
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Lk 11:13 NKJV)
Both of the passages above say clearly that if we, as human parents, understand the desire to shower good gifts upon our own children, then surely we must recognize that God’s desire is also to do good and to bless His spiritual children.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jer 29:11 NIV) God plan is to prosper each one of us and to give each of us hope and a good future.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Rom 8:28 NIV) God is telling all who have accepted Christ as their Savior that He works for our GOOD in every circumstance of life. Praise God!
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will . . . (Eph 1:11 ESV) God has given each and every believer an inheritance, which is not only eternal but it is GOOD. Thank the Lord most High!
