He's got the goods

James 1:17

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.

Once again it is not ironic that a comment like this comes on the heal of the verse before it; "Do not be deceived my brothers".

It's strange to me that this deception takes place so easily. When something crappy happens in our lives we are quick to curse God out and blame him for it, but when's the last time you said "thank you" for a good thing or perfect gift in your life and gave Him the glory. (Oh not us....we're good at taking credit for the good stuff!!!)

But think about this. When the crap hits the fan in your life are you not being deceived into blaming the wrong person. Or why are you BLAMING in the first place?

God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and does not change. There are reasons for everything and in Romans Paul tells us that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him" and so why not instead of playing the blame game why don't we believe that our God has GOT THE GOODS!

Once again....Don't be deceived my brother's!!

Have a blessed weekend.
