One of God’s biblical monikers is “God of All Grace”. Even a cursory
study of Scripture unfolds a vision of grace that extends far beyond grace for
salvation alone. He that spins the worlds on His fingers has sufficient grace
apportioned for every person and every moment. Yesterday’s grace is now expired
so fresh grace is provided for today. Tomorrow’s grace cannot be coerced into
early arrival. Like diurnally apportioned manna in the desert, grace comes for
each day, each instant and each need. Gracious Lord, help me to accept and walk
in Your promised provision of grace for today while resting in blessed
assurance and humble expectation of Your apportioned grace for tomorrow. I
trust Your perfect distribution of the grace needed for all things at all times.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
