Living by God’s grace

“We’re certainly going to die,” he said to his wife, “because we have seen God!”

But his wife said to him, “If the Lord had intended to kill us, he wouldn’t have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us, and he would not have shown us all these things or spoken to us like this.” (Judges 13:22-23)

Every day, we live by God’s grace. We actually deserve to die because of our sin. But because of God’s grace, he speaks to us, he shows us his plans for us in his word, and even accepts offerings from our imperfect hands.

It’s so easy to take God’s grace for granted. But take the time to meditate on his grace today, and think about just how amazing it really is.

Lord, your name is wonderful, beyond our comprehension. Your grace and your mercy to us our new every morning.

Now by your grace, fill us with your Spirit. Bless us, and stir our hearts to do your will this day. In Jesus’ name, amen.
