Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17 (KJV)

Did you take the time to thank God today?  I mean really sit down and thank Him from the depths of your heart and tell Him “Thank You my LORD, for this moment, for this second, for another day of loving You, and serving You?”

In our life we can take for granted the little moments of time. We can very easily get distracted by circumstances or the indulgences of worldly scenarios or pulled in by unimportant matters. We an lose track of time as we hurry along the highway of life and all the chaos it can sometimes bring.

We need to slow down and realize that time is fleeting here on earth. But the eternity is forever. This is our temporary residence. Heaven is our permanent home in the not-too-distant future. Our spirit that will live forever is encased temporarily in the flesh. Our flesh and all else is temporary. Sure we have jobs to do here while in the flesh, but keep the Word of the LORD within your heart. Remember to whom you belong and to what purpose we are here.

It is a gift from the Father. We are here because of His gift of life. We are living this moment because of Him. We exist because of Him. And He will call us home one day. Are you ready for His call?

Christians are inherently blessed from the Father, He loves us beyond our comprehension. And when we accept Christ as our LORD and Savior, we are armed with His Spirit within us.

When we recognize that He died for us, defeated death for us, rose again on the third day and redeemed us with His precious blood. He paid the price for our freedom. He paid the price for our sin!  Now, my brothers and sisters – if that fact alone isn’t enough to give Him daily thanks, and devotion- then I don’t know what else to say-other than “He is worthy.”

“Dear LORD, my Father of Lights, thank You for this day to go forward in Your name, to honor You, serve You and love You to the best of my ability, and I realize it is only because of You that I am breathing and am alive, all glory and honor are Yours, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 
 Psalm 119:105 

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”John 8:12 

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.1 John 1:5 

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
