Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created. (James 1:16-18 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, I am grateful for the truth You share in the many ways You share it–especially for the written Word that communicates Your truth. Thank You for giving me wisdom, insight, and understanding. Thank you for the good, beneficial, and mature gifts You have given me. Help me grow in wisdom and understanding as I grow and mature in You and our relationship. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
