Even Greater Gifts

Verse of the month 

“If you then, for all your evil, quite naturally give good things to your children, how much more likely is it that your Heavenly Father will give good things to those who ask him?” (Matthew 7:11 Phillips)

Scripture Reading:  James 1:17-18

Even Greater Gifts 

When I was a young boy I really liked visiting Uncle Johnnie’s house, because something was always going on and you never really knew what he would come up with next.

You can imagine how my excitement grew when my uncle said he wanted to show me something special.   What treasures did he have in store for me the night that I received what I thought was the most "perfect" gift a ten year old boy could ever get!

Our scripture reading for today points out even greater gifts that are waiting for us to receive for the asking.

“Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning. 

By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth so that we would be the first fruits of His creatures." (James 1:17-18 HCSB)

On that particular visit I received a good gift.  Even though it was terrific, God had a greater gift in store for me than material possessions and He has the same for you.  

How much more do you think our Heavenly Father would give each of us if we opened our hands and hearts to the gifts He is giving?  

As you spend time in prayer and the Word of God, ask the Heavenly Father for the wisdom, knowledge and understanding for the gifts He has prepared for you.
