Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father. JAMES 1:17

Today, be grateful for what you have. It may not seem like much—and it may not appear to be enough at the moment. But give the Lord thanks anyway. Why? Because He is God and deserves your praise. Apart from His goodness, you wouldn’t have any of it. Deuteronomy 8:18 is clear: “Remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth”( NIV ). It’s crucial for you to acknowledge He is the source of all your provision.

Also remember: “He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish” (Proverbs 11:28). In other words, what matters is not how much you have, but how obedient you are with what’s been entrusted to you. You may be poor according to the world’s standards but wealthy by God’s because of your faithfulness to Him.

So today, no matter how much you have, praise the Father for His provision. And remember: “They who seek the L ORD shall not be in want of any good thing” (Psalm 34:10).

Lord, thank You for all You’ve given me. I know You will provide all that I need, amen.

In His presence . . . be grateful for all He’s given you.
