Focus on God’s Goodness-Gracious Blessings

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in John 1:16.

From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.

This is a view of God’s grace coming in wave after wave after wave to bless us. God’s love is a daily reality. The writer of Lamentations tells us that His mercies are new every morning.  His compassions never fail.

His blessings are revealed in various ways-by the encouragement of a friend in Christ; in nature-by the daily sunrise or the provision of rain, or the appearance of the rainbow in the sky; in every breath we take and in every heartbeat; in the daily opportunities He gives us to learn and grow and thrive where we are planted. Whenever we are enriched by the good and perfect gifts from above, that is a moment to give credit to God.

The waves of God’s gracious blessings reveal the goodness of God and are reasons to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
