Thought of the Day: Taking Stock

Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.

Survey your life today. What good gifts has God given you upon your post and at your sites? What is going well with you family while you have been gone? What have you learned? How have you grown? What has exceeded your expectations?

God does not allow us to remain static. He is always working in us to will and work according to His good pleasure (Phil. 2). That means that He is always working in and through you. And this fact will not change, for if He has given you Jesus, how will He not also give you all things (Rom. 8)?

Every good and perfect gift is from our heavenly Father, who does not change like shifting shadows (James 1). Take stock of your life today and count your undeserved, Christ-earned blessings. Today should be a day of gratitude, for surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our life, even in the valley of the shadow of death (Ps. 23). Praise be to God.
