“And
the Father of lights gives perfect gifts to his children, in him there is no
variation or shadow of turning. Jesus Christ is God’s perfect gift to you
today.”
James 1:17
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father
of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
God created mankind in his image. God is good – absolutely good – so mankind
was originally created good. Sadly, man chose to turn away from God’s goodness
in the garden and so the darkness of sin entered the world. Scripture tells us
that God is light and in him, there is no darkness. Jesus, God’s Son, is called
the Word of God. He was with God at creation and all things have been created
through him, the Word of God. In him was life, and the life was the light of
men and the light shines in the darkness.
God is called the Father of lights and, as a father, he gives his children
perfect gifts. Jesus said, “If a son asks for bread from any father among you,
will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent
instead of a fish? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask Him!” Our Father in heaven loved the world so much that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
everlasting life.
Every Christmas we celebrate the coming of God’s only begotten son. The Creator
who created us good has reconciled to his goodness through his good son. Jesus
Christ was born of a virgin. That is, though he had a natural mother he was
conceived without a natural father. God the good Creator is Jesus’ Father by
the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Jesus is perfect. He is fully God, yet fully man.
As God, Jesus is as we were when we were created – good and sinless. This is
why he was able to die for sin and rise from the dead. Only by faith in his
death and resurrection and by calling him Lord, can we be reconciled to the
goodness of God and call him Father.
And the Father of lights gives perfect gifts to his children, in him there is
no variation or shadow of turning. Jesus Christ is God’s perfect gift to you
today

SO,
DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“I trust you, O Lord, to continue to do the good work that you began in me.”
“Dear God, I realise
now that I have missed the mark of your perfect goodness. Forgive me for my
sin. I turn away from darkness and turn to you, O Father of lights. Thank you
for sending Jesus to pay for my sin. I believe he died for sin and rose from
the dead to free me from darkness. I accept and confess Jesus Christ to be my
Lord and Saviour. Thank you that you give me your Holy Spirit as I ask Jesus
into my life. Amen.”

What is GodTracker?
GodTracker is a weekly e-mail Christian motivational thought, written by
Dudley Anderson, based on the premise that God has a plan for our lives. His
Word calls us to seek his plan by acknowledging him in all our ways and by
tracking his purposes, in faith. Most of what you’ll read is based upon the
author’s personal experience of tracking the plans of God.
