God Gives Good Gifts

Remembering Where it All Comes From

"17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."                       James 1:17

I've been thinking about how much blessing there is in what God has established on earth. He has given all of the things that are needed to provide for good life and health, and he has given us understanding to be able to use those things for our benefit. Another thing that God has established is that there is a time to every purpose under heaven. As I sit here drinking my glass of wine, I am reminded of the fact that there is a long process necessary to turn a grape on a vine, into the beverage I have before me. Yet, even this process belongs to God. God can make a the grape on the vine into wine in the blink of an eye. Jesus even changed water itself into wine at a wedding. 

What does this all mean, and why do I say this on a blog about Plexus? Because Plexus is derived from the good stuff of the earth, and with wisdom it is applied to aid the body with its natural processes. These things all belong to The Lord, and I just wanted to take a moment to say that I give thanks to God for the good that He has brought to us in it's time and it's season, for the purpose He meant. 

From the Book of Common Prayer/Book of Divine Worship

Most gracious God, 
by whose knowledge the depths are broken up 
and the clouds drop down the dew: 
We yield thee hearty thanks and praise 
for the return of seed time and harvest,
for the increase of the ground 
and the gathering in of its fruits,
and for all other blessings of thy merciful providence
bestowed upon this nation and people. 
And, we beseech thee, 
give us a just sense of these great mercies,
such as may appear in our lives 
by a humble, holy, and obedient 
walking before thee all our days; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost 
be all glory and honor, world without end. Amen.
