Devotion 10/5, Praise God from whom “all” blessings flow!
You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:17-18
When we stand before the throne of judgment, what will be our claim to grace? Only God’s generous and loving gifts to us through Jesus. This grace has made us pure, holy, and whole! Nothing we possess, accomplish, or buy can give us such a claim. Only God’s generosity, grace, mercy, and love can bring heaven’s greatest gifts to us. As the famous Doxology leads us to sing, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow!”
We thank you Father, for your wonderful and extravagant blessings. All that we have, all that we are, and all that we ever hope to be exists only because of the mercy and grace you have lavished upon us. We thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Lord, may this song be on my heart all day, for I know that all I am and all that I have is from You alone.
