His Grace

Psalm 34:22

The LORD redeems the soul

     of His servants,

And none of those who trust

     in Him shall be

               condemned.  (NKJ)

     With every breath, we are dependent upon the grace of God.  Just the fact that we wake up each morning is because we have a loving and gracious God.  Even though we are a prideful and rebellious people who love our sin, God is always faithful to forgive us when we ask.  We have an awesome Savior who volunteered to take the punishment for our sins that were justly due.  The Lord is the One who holds the universe in perfect order so our world can exist.   He provides everything we need to live a good life.  Everything we have comes from our Creator.  He has given us a beautiful world filled with wonderful things that give us pleasure and bring us happiness, because He wants us to enjoy life. 

     The Lord graciously offers us knowledge and wisdom through His Word.  He died a sinner’s death and offers us forgiveness and salvation.  He gives us the Holy Spirit to help us live a righteous life and love others.  When we decide to accept Him as the Lord over our lives, He provides the Way.  God gives us exactly what we need at exactly the right moment.   As a child of the Living God, you can be sure in His sovereignty—that He hears your every cry and He sees your every trouble.  He is a saving God who is filled with unconditional love.  This life is filled with pain, suffering, heartache, failures and all kinds of trouble, but when we run to our Provider and Savior, we are headed right into the gracious arms of the Almighty God.

                               A Whisper of Hope

My grace is sufficient, child...to help you in your times of need—to refresh your weary soul and lighten your heavy loads.  This life-journey is much too difficult for you to live on your own.  Do not be ashamed or afraid of your weariness or weakness.  Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life.  Start where you are, at this very moment and let Me help you get through this one day, one step, and one moment at a time. 

Ephesians 2:8

For by grace you have been saved through faith,

and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.  (NKJ)

              My grace is sufficient for you, for My

      strength is made perfected in weakness.
