Grace to Keep Going
God's grace doesn't end the moment we're saved. It's an ongoing reality in which we can stand firm.
Acts 15:7-11
As believers, we readily attribute our salvation to divine grace, but God’s unearned favor doesn’t stop the moment we become Christians. “This grace in which we stand” (Romans 5:2) is an ongoing reality, the very ground beneath our feet as we navigate everyday life.
So when difficulties come—and they will—we don’t have to approach them as if we’re starting from scratch. The same God who saved us has slowly and steadily been forming us. Through His Word, through prayer, through every trial we’ve already endured, He’s been equipping us with exactly what we’ll need for whatever challenge comes next.
That doesn’t somehow make hard things easy all of a sudden. But it does mean we’re not facing adversities empty-handed. When we lean into what God has already built in us—faith, patience, and knowledge of His character—we find that He’s provided everything we needed (2 Peter 1:3). Difficulties that once seemed insurmountable start to look different. Perhaps not smaller but more manageable.
Obstacles in life are unavoidable. But we don’t have to meet them in our own strength or by ourselves. Grace is far more than simply how our faith journey began; it’s also how we keep going.
Rise and shine everyone. Have a blessed day.
Please pray with me and let's focus our time and attention on seeking God's plan for the day ahead. 🙏
Dear God,
Most high, maker of heaven and earth and all that is in them,
Thank you for this day and all that you have blessed us with. Thank you, Father, for your love, your kindness, your mercy and your grace. Thank you for waking us and giving us life and calling us your children.
Please bless us all with Godly wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment. Please fill us with love, peace, joy, patience, understanding and faith.
Please, Father, guide us, protect us and use us today to achieve Your will. I pray that we will truly honor and glorify you in everything we do and that we will love you with all of our heart and soul, our mind and our strength. For ever and ever.
In Jesus' most holy name we pray,
Amen
