Everything Good is From God

Let's Get Real - Scripture Day 368
April 1, 2016 (working on catching up)

All the blessings in this life come from God...

"How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.  They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.  For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light."

Psalms 36:7-9 ESV

RANDY: No matter your view of God, all good things come from Him. Since God is the creator of all things, by default all good things are from Him.

Conversely, not all bad things are from God.  In fact, virtually anything wrong with in the world is either the result of sin being introduced into the world by mankind initially, or even the direct actions of currently sinful man.

Trusting God

Let's Get Real - Scripture Day 367

It is an awesome thing to trust in God...

"In you, O Lord , do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me!  Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!"

Psalms 31:1-2 ESV

RANDY: It is far easier to say we trust in God than to actually do it. God loves when we come to Him and ask for help.

He loves to give good gifts to His children.
