My study in Colossians this past week spent much time on the phrase “grace and peace be unto you”. I had to really push to get beyond that phrase as the LORD kept opening my eyes.
My excitement in sharing with the women could not be contained…
The grace of Jesus Christ… Grace for salvation, grace for forgiveness, grace for living, grace for obeying, grace for persevering, grace to forgive, grace to love, grace for faith, grace to walk in a manner worthy… Grace that is freely and abundantly given! I have marveled this week as God has taught me about grace… So so much more, so much deeper, so much richer than I’ve known before.
I know… Elementary, right? Maybe so… But I tasted a richness that was as new as His daily mercies… And today… He sealed it with a reminder of HIS PROMISE!!!!
Beginning with a daily devotional by Bob Hoekstra… a man I honestly and sincerely look forward to meeting…
and…. stretched out beyond ‘the wall’, shining out over the mountain tops across a region that God has promised me… HE IS AT WORK…
