Romans 5:17...those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in this life through the One, Jesus Christ.
So what is this grace God invites us to keep receiving? I noticed 'receive' is in the present tense where I need it right now!
Grace is God's provision for our every need in spirit, soul and body. It includes God's great favour, everything we need is provided for. If we're all alone - there is grace for us. If we're struggling in any area - there is grace for us. If we're sick - there is grace for us. If we have financial difficulties - there is grace for us.
As I was thinking about God's grace after writing the blog yesterday, this thought came to me "Be a grace sponge!"😊
I really like that because it implies we're to soak it up, let His grace keep filling us up throughout the day till we're overflowing with it. When we spill liquid we grab a sponge to absorb it all, squeeze it out, then soak up some more till the problem has all gone don't we? Well I think that's what God is saying to us.
Bring His grace to our problem, let it soak it up, over and over again where necessary, until it's all gone. Keep going to the throne of grace, every five minutes if we need to, to keep receiving His grace for whatever our need is. 'Lord I keep receiving your grace for healing, I thank You for it.'
Lord show us how to be grace sponges and receive Your help for every problem in the coming days, for Your glory. Amen.
