God's Grace

God's grace is more than I ever deserve. He's always one who we can depend on and He's never too busy to listen us. The will of God will never take you where is grace of God will not protect you. This was been a challenge that God was been working in me lately.

"...And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth." John 1:14 

"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you: that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8 

Knowing that God offers his grace, why are we then saying, "Lord help us have grace today," rather than saying "Lord please give us your grace for today." An evangelist once described grace as being a number of presents wrapped in your favorite  paper. What do you have to do to receive those presents? ASK!!! This is the same with God; all we have to do ask God for his grace for our daily needs! I found that in my own life that it is so easy to ask and forget and to not fully expect God to answer.  God has been teaching me that I need trust Him to give my His grace for my daily needs, but most of all expect God to do great and mighty things! 

"And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect is weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities. that the power of Christ my rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

 "For the Lord God is the sun and shield:

 the Lord will give grace and glory: 

no good thing will He withhold from 

them that walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11 

As I was doing this study this song by Carolyn Hamlin helped me think about grace in a different light. Here are the words may this be an encouragement to you as it was to me!

by Carolyn Hamlin

Lord, as I seek your guidance for the day,

I find my thoughts unyielding: confusion clouds my way,

But, then when I bow to you, the challenges you guide me through,

Your promises are ever new: I claim them for today.

Your will cannot lead me where your grace cannot keep me.

Your hand will protect me: I rest in your care.

Your eyes will watch over me: Your love will forgive me.

And when I am faltering, I still will find you there.

Each new day’s design is guided by your hand,

And graciously revealed as I seek your Master plan.

Keep my footsteps faithful when from you I go.

Return me to the joy that your blessings can bestow.

Your will cannot lead me where your grace cannot keep me.

Your hand will protect me: I rest in your care.

Your eyes will watch over me: Your love will forgive me.

And when I am faltering, I still will find you there.

Your eyes will watch over me,

Your love will forgive me,

And when I am faltering,

Lord, I will find you there.
