By Grace We See Wonders Upon Wonders
Each Day.
By Grace Each Day God Has Mercy on Us.
Genesis 4:7
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.
Galatians 5:1
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Words of Grace For Today
Ah, were it so simple, that we could just stand firm and not submit to the yoke of slavery (to sin) or that we could do well and be accepted by God!
It is not so. Simple it would be, but if it were so simple we would all be lost forever, so good thing it is not simple that way!
All depends on grace.
God’s freely giving us everything we need for life, and not just subsistence or wealth distracted life, but rather life abundant.
We can only beg.
So we pray each day, God save us, God forgive us, God renew us and restore us, God make us instruments of your love for all creation.
Then we get to work doing all we can, knowing
1. we will fail to always choose to love
2. the Holy Spirit inspire us, and motivate us, and move us to do what God needs us to do
and
3. all will be well.
It’s just another 24 hours of God giving us the free gift of life, love, and hope.
Breathe deeply
and get moving into the day!
