"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
Our world is graced with massive oceans filled with the length, breadth, and depth of God's benevolence. Large rivers, ponds, and lakes are scattered in breathtaking settings against what I believe to be God's second favorite color.... green. Green trees, tall and beautiful, green grass short and bountiful lift their leaves and blades with perfect praise.
Peals of mighty thunder roar "amidst" dark stormy clouds that "the heavens declare the glory of God!" Psalm 19:1. Meanwhile, the lightning sends out repeated messages of light that the Lord is our righteousness and His truth endureth beyond all generations. Jeremiah 51:10.
And yet our tiny hearts, about the size of human fists, swell with more than water...
Our bodies though less majestic than a lofty tree are filled with something more than vibrant greens...
Our vocals are not as tuned with harmony as tiny birds, but they are filled with something infinitely sweeter...
Our lives though marred by sins and mistakes darker than a thousand midnights, roar with something drastically more thunderous.... Romans 7:22-24.
Though the light of our lives pales in comparison to lightning, and our human reach never extends beyond all generations...
We are filled and are bursting with something infinitely more beautiful.... which cannot be contained...
We are filled up, as Founts of Blessings, running over with the living testimony...
"GOD IS LOVE." 1 John 4:8.
Every atom of our beings shouts His praise!
Every cell, His power!
Every tissue, His faithfulness!
Every muscle demonstrates His strength!
Every organ, His mysterious geniosity!
Every system His continuous Founts of Blessings!
"Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me ever to adore Thee, may I still Thy goodness prove,
While the hope of endless glory fills my heart with joy and love."
-Robert Robertson
I don't know about you, but I am so in love with the Lord! I just want to praise Him with all that is within me. Can you imagine that day when we are finally free from sinning and we see Christ's lovely face; our Father in His eternal splendor, and our Comforter with His boundless grace? I want to be faithful... there is nowhere else and no one else as important. What about you?
Prayer: God, You are the Fount, the Ceaseless Source of all our undeserved blessings! You have been and are STILL so good and TOO good to us. May our hearts sing eternal songs of your mercy and grace. May our souls and voices... our entire beings... scream your most amazing character trait: " God is love! God is love! GOD IS LOVE!"
May your glory inhabit us. LORD, may our lives exhibit loving obedience and selflessness so that many others will taste your Fount of Blessings! Selah.
