"We Receive" is a powerful and uplifting song by gospel artist VaShawn Mitchell. It is featured on his album "Elements" and has resonated with listeners due to its message of faith and expectation in receiving God's blessings.
The song begins with the plea, "Don't hold back the rain, drown us in Your flood." This imagery of rain symbolizes the abundance of God's blessings and favor that the singer desires to receive. It is a declaration of surrender and openness to receiving all that God has in store.
In the Bible, rain is often associated with God's provision and blessings. In Deuteronomy 28:12, it says, "The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands." This verse speaks to the idea that God desires to pour out his blessings on his people.
The lyrics also express a desire for more than what is asked for or needed. This echoes the concept of God's abundance and his ability to exceed our expectations. Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us." This verse reminds us that God is not limited by our requests, but is able to do exceedingly more than we can imagine.
The repetition of the phrase "exceedingly abundantly" emphasizes the magnitude of God's blessings. It is a reminder that God's provision goes beyond what we can comprehend or anticipate. This concept is echoed in Psalm 23:5, which says, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." This verse speaks to the overflowing abundance that God provides for his people.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of anticipation and readiness to receive God's blessings. The lyrics say, "We are ready for an outpour, send it now Lord." This speaks to the expectation and faith that we should have in approaching God. Hebrews 11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." This verse reminds us that faith is essential in receiving from God.
"We Receive" is a song that encourages listeners to believe in God's abundance and to have faith in receiving his blessings. It is a reminder that God desires to pour out his provision upon us, exceeding our expectations and needs. As we surrender to God and anticipate his blessings, we can trust in his faithfulness and provision.
