Moments at the Mill: Devotional Thoughts from Greg

Hold
Onto Your Gifts
Retailers
are swamped with returns of Christmas gifts! Wrong size
– not my color – already have one, etc. However, with
the advent of gift cards, returns overall are down from
previous years. With a gift card you can go and get
exactly what you want.
Scripture teaches that “God so loved the
world He gave His only begotten Son” (Jn. 3:16).
Through Jesus, God gives the “gift of eternal life”
(Rom. 6:23). All good gifts are “from above, coming
down from the Father of lights with whom there is no
variation or shifting shadow” (Jas. 1:17).
What will you do with the gifts God
gives? Will you return them because they don’t fit into
your current lifestyle? Will you ask instead for gift
card Christianity that you can customize to your tastes?
God’s gifts are perfect! He didn’t give
you a gift card because He knew exactly what you need.
Don’t return His gifts, there are no other ones that can
compare! Be in worship this Sunday and say “Thanks!”
for all He has given.
