Scripture: James 1:17 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.
Nugget: Any gift from God is good and perfect. What God gives us, no man can match. Additionally, God is not one who changes in His giving.
This is why it’s so important for us to remember, anything that doesn’t meet the requirements of good, perfect, unchanging, etc., is most likely not from God. God doesn’t give us anything that will hurt or hinder us (just think of the things you’ve received that were outside of God’s will). What a difference it is to receive something from God!
One of my favorite sayings is, “What God has for me is for me.” No wonder why so many people use this saying—because what God gives is better than we can try to obtain for ourselves—good and perfect.
Quote: “The more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings, the more He will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become.” -Ezra Taft Benson
