TODAY IS OUR RECEIVING DAY

Romans 5:17 (Nkjv) ….much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

I like to try and start the week with something uplifting and the other day I heard someone say ‘Today is my Receiving Day’. Now I’d heard of ‘Today is my Washing day’, or ‘Today is my Birthday’, but I hadn’t heard of ‘Today is my Receiving Day’!

He was meaning that today he would lift up his hands and receive from God whatever it is that God is giving him and he does it every morning. I thought that was a great idea to consciously receive from God.😊

So what does Scripture say we are to receive? So many things and you will be able to think of lots! But our verse tells us that when we receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness we will reign in life through Jesus Christ. God encourages us to open ourselves up to Him and receive His overflowing abundance of favour wherever we are and whatever we’re doing, to believe His heart is to provide more than enough grace for each day so we’re well cared for. Isn’t that a lovely thought?

He knows when we receive His gift of righteousness, the knowledge that we are ‘right’ with Him, then we will have confidence to go out into our day knowing He has us covered for whatever might come because we’re at peace with Him and the enemy has nothing on us.

So as we begin this new week let’s lift our hands to our loving Saviour and receive from Him all He wants to give us today - His love, His grace and favour, and His righteousness and everything else we know He so freely gives us. Maybe there will be some lovely surprises as well that we wants to give us. And like the man I heard saying it, let’s do it every day because we can!

Lord we lift our hands to You and receive all You want to give us today in Jesus Name. Amen.

Have a great ‘receiving daily’ week!😊
