*||RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL||* *||💜|| THE REALITY OF HIS BENEVOLENCE |💜||* *|| The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works (Psalm 145:9). ||* Thursday, 30th July. Pastor Chris Did you know that God is more willing to do you good than you could ever be willing to receive it? He’s more ready to help you in any situation, more eager to supply whatever you need in abundance. And beyond your needs, He delights to give you what you want. Some people say, “God gives you what you need but not what you want.” That’s not true. The problem is that many don’t know how to ask, and then they don’t know how to receive. But the Bible teaches us both—how to ask and how to receive. The Lord Jesus said in John 16:24, “…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” Practice this and you’ll live in superabundance; an overflow. It’s been my experience in life: I receive whatever I want so much so that my challenge is not to desire anything too much, because if I want something, I get it. And you can be sure it won’t come in trickles but in abundance. Sometimes when things come to me like that, I say, “Lord, this is too much. I didn’t mean it like that!” But that’s the reality of His benevolence. What’s benevolence? It’s God’s benefaction. It’s His disposition to be good to you, always willing to bless you, always willing to grant the desires of your heart. It’s His constant readiness to do you good, to help you, to lift you. You never have to qualify for it. This is one of the blessings of the Holy Spirit in your life. He does it because He loves you in Christ Jesus. What I’m sharing with you isn’t only scriptural; it’s practical. Put it to work. Walk in the consciousness of God’s benevolence towards you. You’ll discover that you never have to struggle for anything. Things will start happening suddenly for you. The angels will be responding to your desires faster than the speed of thought. That’s how generous God is. He’s gracious, loving and kind. His goodness toward you is unfailing. *||PRAYER||* *|| Dear Father, I thank you for your goodness and benevolence towards me.
