“Whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.”
Titus 3:6, context 3:4-7
The Father is constantly drawing us to the place of blessing. All He wants is a humble heart that receives His grace daily. Your need is God’s focus, and He wants desperately to fill you with Himself. He calls us constantly to receive something new.
“You have poured over me fresh oil.”
Psalm 92:10
It’s interesting, the Jews had no word that corresponds to fresh. Their word (used here) was “green” and it was a way of describing a flourishing vine or fig tree. The sap that runs through the vine brings life to the fruit.
Yesterday’s oil is old. At best, I suppose it encourages us that the grace-filled Father will again bless us again. And honestly, tomorrow’s oil is in the future, and it’s hoped for. It’s the present day oil that must be sought.
Having grace for today is really what matters.
Check these verses out–
“And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh…”
Joel 2:28
“…you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.”
Psalm 23:5
Clearly God is not stingy when it comes to His grace.
He pours it out lavishly. He fills our cups generously, and I strongly suspect He wants to give more than we possibly can contain. He’s your Friend–your Savior–the One who sustains your life, and He loves you!
“Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.”
Luke 6:38
Your spiritual food will come each morning as you look to Him. It should become a daily meeting; your spirit needs Him and His words. Yesterday’s time may have been good, but living in obedience demands a constant awareness of Him.
“Old anointing’s will not suffice to impart unction to thy spirit; thine head must have fresh oil poured upon it from the golden horn of the sanctuary, or it will cease from its glory.”
Charles Spurgeon
Are you broken? Flawed and stumbling?
Do you think that you are a poor example of a believer? I tell you, His love is not contingent on your outward behavior. You need Him. You need Him to be a fruitful believer.
God’s love is a Greek word, it is an “agape” love. Narrowly defined as an “unconditional love,” not related to what you deserve, earn, or warrant. It is a love given without an expectation of a corresponding love in return. This is His love, and it travels with grace.
The grace of God means He is holding you close, in a way seems to become overprotective of you. Anyone who touches you, touches “the apple of His eye.” Let none question, you are His own.
Put yourself under His grace. Tune your heart to His. He is waiting for you.
“For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.“
Psalm 30:5
