Awakened to Deliver – Week 9, Day 2: Recognizing the Source of All Blessings

Welcome to Awakened to Deliver, a podcast from Fishtok4Jesus Productions. In today’s episode, Jeff Fish explores the source of all blessings—God Himself. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him, and recognizing His provision strengthens our trust, gratitude, and stewardship.

Our key verse for today is James 1:17 (NASB 2020):

“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.”
