Thankful

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

James 1:16-18

God is the source of all of our blessings. Every perfect gift comes from above. We should be thankful for all that God has done.

As we fight temptation, as we deal with disappointments, and as we live on mission for Christ let us consider this thought. God gives us what we need and we can be content in His provision. Sin can spring from the restlessness of our heart and the discontentedness of our spirit.

Learn to be content in all things (Philippians 4), Child of God. Let us be thankful at all times whether we feel like it or not. Contentment leads to godliness. God is our source. And He’s all we need.

Guard The Truth

Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Matthew 7:6

Finally, we are to be guardians of the truth. Do not allow the holy things to be treated as cheap and unholy. May we protect the truth at all cost.

Essentially, there is a right time and a wrong time to share and help. If someone is not willing to be helped, perhaps it’s better to wait. If someone is not ready to receive truth and help, perhaps trying to help them in that condition can do more harm than good.

We have been entrusted with a precious truth. May we protect it and share it carefully.

Ultimately, Matthew 7:1-6 teaches us the following principle; don’t be a hypocrite. Deal with your own sin, shortcomings, and hang-ups before you try to help others.

Pray for your own authenticity. Examine yourself often as hypocrisy often creeps up on us without us noticing it. Hold to the truth and share it as God leads and provides opportunity.
