There’s a Life that Jesus died for us to have.
It’s already set, already in Place,
a Life of Promises fulfilled,
where Good Cheer prevails,
despite the Trials and Tribulations we see.
It’s the simple Life of Faith and Grace that is easily preached.
Yet, it is more complex to Live,
especially on a daily basis.
I found this out first hand recently when my pastor came to stay at our house for a few days. During the first night, my family and I were excited to have our special guest staying at our home.
However, by the second day, the excitement began to wane and our daily routine started to kick in. And with it, came our normal daily challenges that often turned into disagreements. I almost always ended up saying things I should not have said.
This time, my Pastor was there to witness it first hand, but didn’t say a word, instead, just observed. The next day, she lovingly talked to me privately about what she witnessed and reminded me it’s our daily lives that bear witness to what we truly believe.
John 10:10 says Jesus came
to give us a Rich and Satisfying Life.
But how do we Tap into this?
How do we Experience Christ in Everyday Life?
Enter Grace.
Looking over my Life,
how quickly things can change day by day,
I cannot obtain All God has for me
by my works Alone.
“And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.” (Romans 11:6)
This Faith Life is activated
by what we Believe of God’s Word.
His Word tells us
what we Achieve is by His Grace.
His Word reminds us that God’s Grace is all we need. His power works best in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Enter Faith.
So as our daily lives continue to take shape,
let us be Reminded that
God is really looking for our Faith.
“But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” (Luke 18:8b)
At the end of the day,
This is what will be
Pleasing in God’s sight.
Let’s stay in Faith and be Encouraged in Grace.
