Deep Into the Grace of God

Hey Family, today I when I woke up, I quickly began to think of just how deep and complex the grace of God is. His grace is not one-dimensional nor is there an exact formula to understand its power or predict its outcome. We serve a living God who does not operate like a robot. He makes His own decisions based on His will and if we become deeper in our relationship and we attune our ears and we focus our minds on Him, we will find ourselves more than adequately covered by God's overwhelming grace. 

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, I just want to say that when the world feels like they need an abundance of fleeting and temporary security, please Lord, help us to be fully satisfied in Your grace. Help us to focus entirely on what You want and know that it abiding in that we shall surely receive what we need in our day to day. Anymore than this is a luxury, which is not in the promises You have given us for this life. Lord, Your grace is enough, now let us be the vessel to show the world how and why it is. In Christ Jesus name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

His Grace is More Than Enough

2 Corinthians 12:1‭-‬10

"I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Quote of the Day

"Eternity will not be about 'look at what I sacrificed' but rather 'look at what He gave me!' God will be the center of attention. We will spend eternity marveling at the 'immeasurable riches of His grace' (Eph. 2:7)".
