Today’s verse was written by the prophet Isaiah 700 years before Jesus was born. His prophesy revealed God’s Blessing to humanity for the simple exchange of the remission of sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Yet, just in case you didn’t receive any gifts today, from anyone, from anywhere; remember that, YOU have already received many Gifts that easily supersede any gifts that you could ever buy. The Gifts of: Breathing, Time, Sanity, Health, and Peace. -And, more importantly, the bestowal of God’s endearing and unlimited Gifts of Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness, Favor, Love, and Eternal Life.
So today, if you received any gifts at all, enjoy all your new gifts; but, don’t forget to remember all the Gifts that you have already received from God! L.
