RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY THURSDAY 7TH MAY 2026.
God gives us grace according to His purpose for our lives. His grace works from within you to accomplish what He has designed or called you to do. That
grace will influence and bless those who are connected to you according to God’s plan. But if someone isn’t called to be within the influence of that grace, they may not be blessed by it, because they are not assigned to that calling.
However, righteousness is not like grace. We all have the same righteousness because our righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. We’ve been made righteous by His righteousness. None of us stands before God on the basis of personal righteousness. None of us is accepted by God because of our own efforts.
Whether you were born again five minutes ago, or ten years ago, or fifty years ago, the righteousness we all have is the same. You will never be more righteous than you are today, because you have received the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. You can’t improve it. Romans 5:17 makes this clear. It says, “…they which receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness….” There’s only one gift of righteousness and it’s a well-deserved gift for all humanity, following the vicarious sacrifice of the Lord Jesus in our behalf.
It’s not earned but received, and it doesn’t grow or increase. Grace, on the other hand, can increase or be multiplied: “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord” (2 Peter 1:2). God gives more grace, as James 4:6 says, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” But righteousness is the same for every Christian, being the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
PRAYER/CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace that you’ve granted me for my calling, and for the gift of righteousness by which I stand before you, justified and reign in life through Jesus Christ. I’m conscious of your grace at work in me, and I’m secure in the righteousness of Christ. I live boldly and purposefully, fulfilling your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
