Short Devotional about I will Accept My Blessings from God
Introduction
In our everyday lives, it’s easy to fall into the trap of self-doubt, ungratefulness and constantly seeking more. We often overlook the blessings we’ve already received and instead focus on problems or what we think we’re lacking. However, God never ceases to pour His blessings upon us, and it’s important to remain steadfast in faith and accept these gifts with gratitude. Through this devotional, let us delve into the understanding and acceptance of our blessings from God.
Bible Verse
James 1:17 – “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
Meaning
Our God is a benevolent, generous, and consistent provider. He doesn’t alter His intentions or change His nature. We can trust that every good thing we encounter in our life – our talents, our family, our successes – is a gift from Him. Realizing this, we should live our lives with an ever-thankful heart.
Oftentimes, we dismiss our blessings as ‘luck’ or ‘coincidence’. We might even attribute them entirely to our efforts. But, the verse reminds us that these blessings are not random or self-generated; they are lovingly given by our Father who desires the very best for us. As followers of God, it is not just about accepting these gifts but recognizing their origin.
Actions to Take
- Count your blessings each day. You can create a ‘Blessings Jar’ or a gratitude journal to note down things for which you are grateful.
- Actively seek God’s hand in your blessings. Make an effort to acknowledge the Divine source of all things good.
- Share your blessings. God blesses us so that we may be a blessing to others. Therefore, share His love and gifts with others in need.
