David Jeremiah (November-04-2025) Daily Devotional: Good Gracious: Thank Him for His Grace to Us.
From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. John 1:16, NLT
Recommended Reading: John 1:14-16 - THE WORD BECOMES FLESH - 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, âThis was He of whom I said, âHe who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.ââ 16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
Earlier this year a motorcyclist roaring down a coastal highway in the Philippines didnât realize the zipper of his backpack had come open. The man was making a business transfer with a large amount of cash. The bills began flying out of his backpack, covering the road and countryside. The rider wasnât aware that over one million of his pesos were raining down like autumn leaves and being snatched up by others.
Our Lord rains down millions of blessings on His children, and itâs not an accident. He deliberately opens the vaults of heaven and sends us one blessing after another.
John 1:16 isnât difficult to translate. It literally says, âAnd of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.â The idea is that from Godâs abundance, we keep receiving grace after grace, like ocean waves that come one after another, bringing never-ceasing blessings to us.
God is good and gracious! Thank Him for His blessings that come to you, one after another, today!
[John] means that as one piece of divine grace (so to speak) recedes it is replaced by another. Godâs grace to his people is continuous and is never exhausted. - Leon Morris
