He Has Received Gifts for us!!
Today, read Psalm 68:18-19 and think about the goodness of the Lord:
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
(Psa 68:18-19)
Note that the psalmist indicated a specific group of people in the first verse, “for the rebellious also”. God in his infinite love led captivity captive, and received gifts for us even when we didn’t deserve it. We were full of sin, and didn’t know the savior. He knew that in the future we would know Him because of what he did for us here.
With this verse we see a glimpse into the character and nature of God. He is a GOD of SALVATION. His mission and plan is for us to be redeemed back to us in the act of salvation! Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” It’s not enough that we have to clean ourselves up before we come to Him. We only have to accept His gift of salvation. Open up to Him today, and accept His free gifts of salvation, love, and blessings.
