Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, "You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you." Psalm 16:1-2 NLT
In his New Testament epistle, the apostle James says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17).
Many centuries earlier, David began Psalm 16 with essentially the same message, proclaiming that he trusted the Lord his God and acknowledging that every good thing about him was the result of his relationship with God.
Like David, we can acknowledge that any good thing we have or can ever be is on account of the God who loves us and wants to do good things in us and make something good out of us. All we need to do is anchor our faith in Him and allow Him to mold us and make us what He wants us to be.
Prayer: Lord God, thank You for giving me all good things. Without You, I have no good thing. Without You, I have nothing good to offer to anyone. You are my everything, and I commit myself to coming to You for protection, for direction, and for provision.
