Psalm
84:11 “For the Lord God is our light and protector. He gives us grace and glory. No good thing will the Lord withhold from
those who do what is right.”
Grace: God’s free and unmerited favor towards sinful
humanity.
Unmerited favor means receiving
favors we have not earned. God, in his
goodness, gives us a plethora of good things that we have not earned.
If we worked day and night all our lives, it
would be impossible for us to pay for the gifts God offers. It is only by his grace that we have hope of
living eternally in a place where there is only goodness.
While we are here on this earth, in training
for our heavenly dwelling, He is our
light, our protector and giver of all good things. When we walk with him and serve him and trust
him we enjoy the fullness of his grace and glory! What an amazing God we have! Take time today to thank him for his
marvelous grace.
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, I just want to
thank you for your gifts. I know I could
never pay for the joy of your salvation or the peace that passes all
understanding but by the grace that you give, it is mine. All I have
to do is accept and acknowledge that you are my personal Saviour. You are the forgiver and Saviour and I know
one day I will stand before you and realize the wondrous gifts from your
hand. Help me to always give thanks and
never take your gifts for granted. Help
me to freely give grace to others like you give to me. In Jesus name, Amen.
