Good Gifts

Psalm 127:3

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

Have you ever held a baby in your hands? Do you remember when you held your first son or daughter the day he or she was born? What emotions were going through your mind? The Bible says every good and perfect gift comes from God. The psalmist in this verse says, children are a gift from God. Are you thankful for the gift of having children?

What a wonderful blessing to know that God gives us great gifts. As we approach the holiday season, we are constantly thinking about what gifts we should buy for our loved ones. Some of us might want jewelry, maybe a new car, or maybe the newest cell phone. Whatever it is, we want to give our family and friends good gifts. In the same way, God’s gifts are perfect. He wants us to have good gifts from Him.

The Bible says that God knew you even before he formed you, and set you apart to fulfill His purposes in your life. He was speaking this to Jeremiah, but I think He desires that for each of His children. God has a unique plan and purpose for your life. Opportunities are knocking at your door today. God has that perfect gift he wants to give you today. Seize the opportunities to do good things for God today.
