Every good thing comes down from God. What good am I enjoying right now? Fresh air? A sound mind? A good night’s rest? The delight of my pet? Good, safe nutritious food to eat? Friends? Hot and cold running water? Indoor toilet? A lovely park in which to stroll? My eyesight? Hearing? The list goes on and on and every item on it is from my Heavenly Father.

The source of all this good is our amazing God, who never changes. His Being is unshifting. His character is perfect and will never change—not even the hint of moving. Think of the subtle change in shadows as the day opens and closes. Even though we must watch carefully to see it, there IS movement.  There is change in every aspect of our world, but God is not like that. His Word assures us “The LORD will bless His people with Peace.” Psalm 29:11 He has set His love on me and so I will be kept by the Unchanging One.

Wherever I turn, physically and mentally, I can see His amazing hand —the Great Giver of All Good. This season of thanksgiving brings me to a renewed sense of His blessings that abound beyond numbering.

I am rejoicing and thanking Him for His good gifts to me. The greatest is His unchanging and loving choice of me to be one of His children. What is on your list of things to thank God for today?
