Receiving The Forever Gift

Receiving The Forever Gift…

Micah 5:2 talks about the One who was born in Bethlehem. Beyond that it says “from the days of forever.” Clearly, someone is from the days of forever. Everyone begins at one point in time, but only One is from forever.

Only One has no beginning–God! The One born in Bethlehem is God–Jesus. It has to be that way because only God is God, only God is good, and only what comes from God is good.

Jesus didn’t really come from Bethlehem. He came from eternity. Bethlehem received Him. So we need to be like Bethlehem. If you try to produce righteousness, love or holiness, it won’t be good. You can’t produce God from yourself; you must receive Him every day from eternity.

You receive that which you didn’t begin, and it will become a blessing in your life. Jesus, the Gift of God, is not from Bethlehem, but through Bethlehem, from the days of eternity. Realize that all the good you will ever do in the Lord cannot be produced. It can only be received and then given from the days of eternity.

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. Luke 18:19

Whatever you need to do and become in your walk and calling – first receive God’s infilling of blessing and anointing. Then do it.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
