- Are you expecting God to pour out His blessing on you?
- Isaiah 30:18 says that The Lord Longs to be gracious to you.
- The Amplified version puts it this way...
- "the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you."
- Think about that... He is sitting on the edge of His seat looking for an opportunity to bless you.
- It thrills Him to be able to jump in and bless you.
- It's like a proud papa waiting to hear his kids call his name and ask for help because His greatest desire is to show off his love and His ability to rescue.
- Way to many people shy away from God because they are expecting judgment.
- Just the opposite!
- He's not waiting to judge you, He's waiting for the opportunity to be merciful.
- That mindset totally changes the way that you approach Him.
- Don't run from Him, Run to Him.
- Heb. 4:16 says, "let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most."
- Come boldly to Him!
- And when you are at the point of greatest need, you find His grace!
- he knows what you need, how much you need, when you need it most!
- He's a good God!
- As James 4:8 says, "Come close to God, and God will come close to you."
- That is His automatic response when you come to Him.
- Ps.35:27 says, “Great is the lord, who delights in blessing his servant with peace!”
- He Delights in it...He loves it!
- Today, make an effort to get close to Him.
- Come close and receive His Grace, Mercy and Compassion!
- He's longing to pour it out on you!
- Have a great Tuesday!
