We human beings, all through the ages of time from Adam, to the Israelites, to the people of Jesus' brief era of walking on earth, to our present time, need your help in this; indeed have always needed Your help! So we give you thanks for these helpful gifts.
We could never do any such thing for ourselves! In You then we can place our trust and follow Your will and ways for our life. They are good decrees and laws. It is only through Jesus' coming to earth that this was made possible and available to us. You cleanse us with the blood of Jesus Christ and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). You also told us that it is Your Holy Spirit Who moves us to even consider following Your will in the first place.
You move us, yet we have to be willing to be moved. That is where the "new soft heart and spirit comes in, and are, again, wonderful gifts from You, the Giver of all good gifts, especially the Perfect Gift of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Those of us who accept these things will not go hungry or thirsty because Jesus, Your Son, is the Bread of Life and the One who gives Living Water (John 7:37-39) to quench our spiritual hunger and thirst as You did so long ago for the woman of Samaria (John 4:1-10). There never needs to be a famine.
Thank-You so much Father, for all these wonderful gifts that flow from Your love for us, Your children. I'm so glad you sent Jesus to that little town of Bethlehem!
In Jesus Name I give you praise!
