Let God’s Grace Work

Leave a comment

Let God’s grace work in the lives of others as He has once worked in your life.

Once, we were without understanding in many areas of life, including the spiritual aspects of life.

There was a time when we didn’t see things as we do now.  Growth will do that for you.  Over time, seeds of change are planted in your life and with the proper soil conditions, they grow and flourish, teaching you, revealing to you, and molding you and me into a better you and me.

How quickly are we to point the finger, verbally or silently, at those who are still struggling to understand?  The place of judging others does not belong to us (Romans 14:4; James 4:12).

We must have patience with our fellow man and remember where we once were and His grace that brought us to this day.  Pray for others as they are still trying to find their footing in this life.

“Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:11-13

Did you catch that first phrase of that last verse?  But now…

Remember, we didn’t bring ourselves salvation.  Remember, we weren’t always what we are today.  Remember, it was Christ’s blood that saved us.  His grace did the work that we couldn’t do or didn’t deserve.

Let us show the same grace to others today as God is working on them too.

“It is wonderful to see the grace of God at work in our lives today!”

Leave a comment

 

As I ponder this day, the new beginnings of this morning, this thought spoke deeply to my heart: It is wonderful to see the grace of God at work in our lives today!

As I muse over previous days and times, and that musing sometimes leads to disappointments, His grace speaks, “Not today.”  That was in the yesterdays gone by, but today is a time to rejuvenate what His faithfulness has always longed to fulfill in you.  Today mercy comes to the forefront and speaks on your behalf and declares what God has for you it shall come to pass as long as you believe, trust, and hold on to His unchanging hand.

His grace becomes not your crutch or something you take for granted, but your true inner support of strength.  Daily we depend on Him.  Daily we need Him to reach way down into our lives and do the impossible, work where flesh and blood can’t and revive His purpose, His goodness, His anointing, and His will in me.

Grace is more than just a word to toss about.   When the unworthiness of our being edges in, grace magnifies His love in showing what He freely gives.  Grace speaks to the crevices of the heart and fills it with something indescribable, something wonderful and beyond compare.  To bask in the newness of the grace bestowed upon me this day is to bask in the pleasure He seeks to give to a fallible creature such as I.  To lay myself out before Him and feel His rays of peace shine down on me is the best way to start this day.  Surrendering my all to Him.  My desires.  My failures.  My hurts.  And, even my expectations.

We all carry spiritual luggage from our previous days into the new day.  Carrying about the weight of it and allowing it to slow our progress for what God has in store for our new.  Lay it aside, dear Friend, and don that blessedness He so freely gives.  Put on His grace and let it cover you where you feel you need to be covered.  Let it build you where you feel the need for restoration, and let His grace carry you when it’s hard to hold yourself up and walk the days before you.

God’s grace is a beautiful thing.  We know what we deserve, but we see what He gives in spite of it.

Grace, His love for us in action.  The cross secured it for us, and daily His grace lets us know He’s in this for the long-haul.  He is still fighting for us.  He still believes in us and He is willing to pour on us abundantly what our lives can’t find anywhere else.

Father God, thank You for Your blessed grace.  Words cannot express my gratitude for this anointed gift You so freely pour out into my life, but I hold the thought and truth of it near and dear to me, allowing it to wash over me and renew my steps and my life in You daily.  It is so wonderful to see Your grace at work in my life personally today.  No words of thanks will ever be enough, but Lord, I thank You anyway.  In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, AMEN!

“Today is a new day of GRACE!”

Leave a comment

Friends, almost from the time I opened my eyes this morning, grace has been on my mind. As soon as I started my day, I really felt God telling me that today is a new day of GRACE. While we hear it often, I think we take it for granted what that really means. God has chosen to favor us with this fantastic gift. No matter what yesterday looked like, it could have been the best day ever or the worst day, but it isn’t today. Today, when we woke up, we woke up to something new, and wonderful, and fresh, and gifted to us directly from God. We woke up with grace. Isn’t it beautiful? Isn’t He lovely for smiling on us in such a way? Good and bad days will come and go, but it is God’s grace that will keep us through it all. May you all have a wonderfully, blessed Saturday filled with the grace of God.

“And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.” (Psalms‬ ‭90:17‬).

It all happens through the beauty of His grace and favor at work in our lives.
