- Grace precedes peace in scriptures.
- Resistance to accepting God’s grace is pride.
- Not much grace evident if we don’t let go, and instead keep trying to control.
- If more “doing” than “being” in our faith walk, we could be missing grace.
- Self-sufficiency can detour/sidetrack us from the benefits of grace.
- Pain avoidance can slam the door on grace---blocking God’s provision.
- His grace in the midst of pain and suffering can allow us to discover more of Him---result = life with meaning and purpose---it’s a deep level of intimacy.
- By God’s grace, potential problems can be avenues for blessings and the result = growth.
- His grace empowers my weaknesses. It is amazing!
“My grace is sufficient for you, My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Today’s entry in My Utmost for His Highest said, “ Put God first in trust. If I trust in human beings first, I will end in despairing of everyone, I will become bitter because I have insisted on man being what no man can ever be----(perfect) Never trust anything but the grace of God in yourself or in anyone else.
BTW, tomorrow’s Monday. Find a grace verse and meditate on it. Let me know what you find---and learn.
Grace and peace to each of you. I will probably be off-line for next 10 days due to both planned and possibly unplanned events---will write when I can, but posting could be difficult.
