Afternoon Moment
For generations, believers around the world have drawn strength and comfort from daily devotionals that have stood the test of time. These classical readings remind us of timeless truths that shape our faith, nourish our souls, and direct our hearts toward God’s unchanging goodness. The following reflection comes from one of those enduring works that millions—including myself—have trusted to guide their walk with Christ each day.
God’s Goodness
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17
Things that come from God are good and perfect. God could never produce evil because His nature is good. Rather, He produces unending good. Whereas we possess a nature that gives rise to sin, God does not.
Why would we try to satisfy ourselves with evil desires that result in death when God is pouring out everything we could ever want for our satisfaction? Only a fool would be lured away by such a trap when all the goodness of God is available by His grace. Likewise, our flesh can be compared to a well of stagnant water. It is ludicrous to believe we could be satisfied by drinking from it when we can come to the fountain of Living Water Himself, who gives us every good and perfect gift.
