RECEIVING THE DOUBLE PORTION

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Topic: Receiving Double Portion

Text: "For your shame ye shall have double; and for
confusion they shall rejoice in their portion:
therefore in their land they shall possess the
double: everlasting joy shall be unto them" (Isaiah
61:7).

God always gives back to us when we give to
Him. This becomes even more powerful when we
give to God from a place of great sacrifice.
Sometimes the sacrifice is being ridiculed by
family and friends for what you believe, but God
will stand up for you. He won’t let you be
accused or mistreated for serving Him without
bringing a payback
blessing into your life, and those blessings come
with a double price tag attached to them! God
pays double when we are willing to be shamed
for following His ways. God considers your work
for His Kingdom important, and while we do it
joyfully with gratitude God does see how much
effort you put into it. While we don’t arrogantly
expect payback from God because He has
already given us everything, we know God is a
giver. He first gave Jesus, and then we give back
to Him through our love and heart of
unconditional service. For that service, God then
gives to us again, and the cycle keeps going! His
promise is that you will not suffer shame without
possessing a double blessing in your life. So get
ready, the double blessing is coming your way.

PRAYER
Father, I receive Your double blessing for my life.
Thank You, Lord, for giving to me, and I ask that
You will help me find many ways to give myself
and my possessions sacrificially back to You. I
love You, Lord! In Jesus’ Name, amen.
