Have you had
your Joy Juice today? When you’re filled with joy in the Lord, you’ll be more aware of God’s grace.
Grace….we
hear the word used often. Sometimes we
use it as a girl’s name; at meal- time, we say “grace” by asking God’s blessing
on our food. When someone moves with
poise and confidence, we say they are “graceful”. But what do we really mean
when we talk about God’s grace?
Lysa
Terkeurst writes: “Grace doesn’t give me
a free pass to act out how I feel, with no regard to His commands. Rather His grace gives me consolation in the
moment, with a challenge to learn from this situation and become more mature in
the future. Grace is the sugar that
helps the bitter pills of confession and repentance to go down without
choking. That’s why the writer of
Hebrews says, ‘Let us then approach the
throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to
help us in our time of need.’” Hebrews 4:16
God’s GRACE and JOY go hand in hand! Share both with others today!
