Unwrap your gifts – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
“…how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11)
My precious friend, you are the beloved child of the Living God. This month’s promise is found in Matthew 7:11. “…how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!” Here, the Lord Jesus says ‘if you, who know only to do evil, can give the best for your children, how much more your heavenly Father will give good gifts to those who ask him?’ The world gives only evil, but God gives all the goodness. The more the evil of the world surrounds you, the more darkness engulfs you, the more your blessings stop midway, and the more obstacles rise up, much more will the Lord increase His goodness and His good gifts to you. As His goodness increases, no obstacle can ever remain. Yes, nothing can stop God’s blessings from coming to you!
Yes, God is good and what He has is full and abundant goodness. With what the world intends to harm you, God will intend it for good to accomplish His plan and purpose in your life (Genesis 50:20). This is exactly what God is promising you this month. My dear friend, the gift God is sending into your life is His goodness. As a good shepherd, He makes goodness to follow you (Psalm 23:6) and He will never stop doing good to you (Jeremiah 32:40).
This month, the Lord is going to give you: Joy in the Holy Spirit to have the strength to accomplish God’s will overcoming every evil power and the wicked people; divine peace to have communion with the Lord Jesus Christ; and the righteousness of God. Along with these gifts will come all things you need to live in this world in abundance. That is what we read in Matthew 6:25-34. You will not have to worry about what you will eat, be clothed in or where you will live. You will have absolutely no worry about the future. As you seek His righteousness, His peace and the joy in the Holy Spirit to do His will, God will supply all your needs and that of your family according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). God’s provision for your life will be given as a good gift to you. Yes, my beloved, I place this blessing in abundance upon you and your family.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Thank You for the wonderful promise You have given me this month. Father, You are giver of good gifts. According to Your promise, bless me with righteousness, peace, joy of the Holy Spirit and divine strength. Thank You Lord for You will meet all my needs according to Your riches in glory.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
