Hi All! So sorry that it has been a while since our last post. We had our family member who was ill and we were caring for. He has since gone home to be with the Lord. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we’ve been navigating through this challenging time.
Which leads me to what we wanted to touch base on, which is Grace.
God’s supernatural Grace.
The Bible Dictionary describes Grace as “a divine means of help or strength.”
Grace is the power that enables us to do and be what we cannot do or be on our own.
James 4:4 tells us that “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble”
Realizing how much we need the Lord’s help and strength and acknowledging that, opens the door for the Lord to give us more.
We also need to recognize when we’ve been given the grace to accomplish something, we need to then move forward in doing it.
Paul says in Galatians 2:21, the he “does not frustrate the grace of God”.
Throughout our lives the Lord will give us the strength to complete different tasks. He will also empower us to fulfill our calling. He expects us to use the grace that He gives us to get these things done.
Yes it could be starting a church or going on the mission field, but the Lord also could be giving you the grace to lose 20 lbs., or start exercising and eating healthier, or to clean out that spare room or garage, or go back to school, or the grace to call that person you haven’t spoken to and bring healing in a relationship.
You also may have strayed away from the Lord, and He is giving you the grace right now to come back into fellowship with Him.
Let us encourage you today, that whatever you are sensing the grace for, to move forward that grace you’ve been given and achieve all that the Lord has for you!
Let us pray for you,
Father we thank you for your grace. We thank you, that what you have for us to do, you give us the power and strength to do it. So we pray right now for those reaching out, that they would have the courage to step out in the grace that you have given them, and accomplish all that you have for them to accomplish. We love you Lord and we thank you for hearing our prayer. We pray this in Jesus name Amen.
Remember the Lord loves you. Be blessed! 🙏✝️
