Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Learning to Receive

Learning to Receive
Today's Devotional Reading:
Judges 8; Psalm 42; I Cor. 15
March 30, 2011

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE   

"Why am I discouraged? Why so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God!." (Psalm 42:11 NLT).


TODAY'S WORD   
all through the Bible, there are so many promises of what God has already done for us. It says in Ephesians that "God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing." It says in Colossians that "God has made us worthy." There is mercy for any mistake we will ever make. It´s already been taken care of. He paid the ultimate price through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. He´s done His part. Now it´s up to us to do our part. We have to start believing it so we can receive it.

In the natural, when someone gives you a gift, what´s the first thing you usually say? "Thank you." When you give thanks, it´s a sign that you are receiving the gift. Today, start receiving what God has given you by saying, "Father, thank You for Your mercy. Thank You for supplying all my needs. Thank You for Your goodness in my life."

 

As you learn to give Him thanks, you are learning to receive from Him. Open your heart by faith today and thank Him for all the blessings He has prepared for you!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY 

Father God, I come to You today giving You thanks and praise for Your faithfulness in my life. I choose to receive Your Word which is life and strength to my soul. Help me to keep my heart focused on You. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
