“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above…” — James 1:17 (KJV)

If you slow down for just a moment and look around, you’ll start to notice God’s fingerprints in places you usually overlook. James reminds us that every good thing in your life didn’t just appear—it came from the Father who never changes, never shifts, never wakes up in a different mood.

The breath in your lungs this morning? A good gift.

That unexpected encouragement someone sent yesterday? A perfect gift.

The strength you found when you felt empty? That was Him too.

We’re all guilty of rushing past blessings as if they’re ordinary, but the truth is—nothing good is ordinary. Everything good is God. James anchors us in this steady truth: because the Giver doesn’t change, His goodness toward you won’t change either.

So today, take a moment and notice the gifts He’s already placed in your path. Whisper a quiet “thank You.” Let gratitude steady your heart and strengthen your spirit. And step into this day knowing this: If the Father gave you good gifts yesterday, He’s not running out today.

The same God who was faithful then is faithful now. And He’s already preparing your next good and perfect gift.
