Good News From God!
I recently received some good news from
an unexpected source. I had called an agency to clarify some
paperwork and the customer service representative notified me that I have some
unexpected benefits that were granted from a former employer. This had nothing
to do with the purpose of my call, but was a pleasant and stunning surprise. I
had just casually asked God for a blessing a couple of days before and the
timing of this blessing really shocked me.
I shouldn’t be shocked. God said that
if we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart (Psalm
37:4). He said that He would withhold no good thing from those that
walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). Well, praise God, it looks like we
qualify for His blessings!
The 23rd Psalm reminds
us that He is taking care of us. He is leading us, He is guiding us, and He is
preparing benefits for us in spite of those who are against
us. Furthermore, goodness and love follow us all of the days of our
lives. Today, I believe God simply wants us to joyfully ask Him for the
things that we need. It is His good pleasure to give us His kingdom.
Next week many children are confident
that Santa (aka their parents) will give them several gifts. If our children
can believe for a bountiful Christmas morning, will you believe today that God
loves you enough to meet your needs?

Psalm
37:4
Delight
thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine
heart.
Psalm
23:1, 5, 6 New International Version (NIV)
1 The Lord is
my shepherd, I lack nothing.
5You
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint
my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Luke 12:32 New International Version (NIV)
“Do not be afraid, little flock,
for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom
