He causes me to smile

 

James 1:17 NIV

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

God causes me to smile.  When I think of His goodness and the myriad of ways that He shows up joy abounds.  God is good and every blessing is perfect and perfect in its timing.  I serve a God who is stable.  He does not change.  He is steadfast and His love is good.  I am secure in Him.  He does not move the goal post, but rather keeps me centered in Him.  He provides and meets all of my needs; spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

I love all the ways that He shows up and reminds me of His presence.  He comforts me when I am distressed.  He strengthens me when I am weak.  He fuels me when I lack energy.  He is my all and all. He is God! He is the light of my life and the joy of my salvation.  He is all that I need.  His gifts are good and I say thank You.

Lord, You know just what I need and when I need it.  Every good thing is from You and it is perfect.  Thank You for being my Rock.  Thank You for not shifting like the shadows.  Thank You for being the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thank You for being God.  I bless Your Holy name.  In Jesus name I pray. Amen
