Hello, my ECP (Edifying Chrisitan Publications) family and whoever else reads this devotion. I hope the following words of life creates and maintains additional life changing edified balance in your life.
I want you to really think about something pertaining your personal life. Have you seen God IN EVERYTHING? Are you looking for God IN EVERYTHING? Oftentimes, not in all cases, God is seen only in the lens that illustrates godliness in circumstances and/or personal desires being satisfied. What am I saying? It's very common to say "Look at God" only when witnessing God given character or only when personally experiencing satisfaction from personally receiving God given favor or witnessing God given favor to others. Be encouraged, the anti-thesis should not create discouragement but bring forth edified balance, let's look at it.
How often do you think "Look at God" when you are looking in the lens that illustrates unlike God character and/or when you do not receive personal satisfaction due to not receiving personal desires or witnessing others not receiving their personal desires. God's revelation regarding "YOU CAN ONLY RECEIVE WHAT'S GIVEN FROM HEAVEN" blesses you to see God in everything, think about God in everything, and say "Look at God" in everything. Why? Because God allows everything. You could easily think "not everything is from heaven" because somethings in life that are given and received honestly are not of God's desire or character, however, that does not stop heaven (God) from being behind it or heaven (God) working in it. Does God allow the giving and receiving of not so good for a bad outcome? No. God uses the means of not so good for the outcome of good. This is what heaven (God) was teaching John's disciples (through John), taking John's disciples not so good attitude about John not getting attention (because Jesus was getting so much attention) and reminding John's disciples that John also received attention. God was attempting to shift John's disciples perception of bad to the development of betterment in an area of their lives. So, whatever it is, learn to think, believe, and say "Look at God" because heaven is always behind it and working for your good in it (i.e. - YOU CAN ONLY RECEIVE WHAT'S FROM HEAVEN.)
Share these words of life with others for their personal encouragements through God's revelation regarding heaven is behind it and working in it irrelevant of it. God bless you and your families and have an amazing upcoming week.
"They came to John and said to him, Rabbi, that man that was with you on the other side of the Jordan - the one you testified about, looking he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him. To this John replied, A person can receive only what is given them from heaven." John 3:26-27
