JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from James 1:17.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
The blessings of God are expressions of His love for us. These blessings enrich our lives in various ways and reflect God’s goodness toward us.
His good gifts consist of resources that we need to survive, the things that He provides for our enjoyment, and the precious people in our lives that we know as “Friends.”
His perfect gifts are Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and His amazing grace. Jesus is the perfect remedy for our sin. The Holy Spirit is the perfect power source for living out the Christian life. And grace is the perfect plan of redemption that God designed before the world began.
This Light Reflection inspires us to marvel at the brilliance of God’s blessings in the Year to Shine.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is remembering God’s benefits.
This is what Psalm 103, verse 2 tells us to do. “Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”
Some of those benefits are listed in this Psalm. He forgives all our sins. His healing of all our diseases. He redeems us from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion. He satisfies our desires with good things.
When you think of God’s benefits in your life, what comes to your mind?
Consistently remembering God’s benefits has a way of filling our heart with gratitude. With each expression of thanks that we offer to God, we are praising Him for His goodness and kindness.
Remembering God’s benefits is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His blessings.
According to James 1:17, “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’s gifts to us are blessings that enable us to thrive for the glory of God. We are blessed to receive the perfect gifts of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. There are also good gifts that God provides for us, such as food to sustain us in life, abilities to enable us to serve, and people to encourage us in the faith.
For every blessing, we have an occasion to thank God for His gracious hand.
The good and perfect blessings of God are reasons to trust in God for today and forever.
