GRACE

So this week I had the privilege of studying Isaiah 40: 1-11 in BSF. Wow, God's Word is amazing! My favorite verse in the passage we studied this week was:

"He tends his flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young." Isaiah 40:11

This is so comforting to know that the God of the whole entire universe cares this much about each person that He would carry us close to His heart!
In the passage this week, GRACE was the attribute of God seen over and over again.
Justice - you get what you deserve
Mercy - you don't get what you deserve
Grace - you get what we don't deserve
I am so glad that God in His graciousness died on the cross for my sin and gave me salvation, but also that He continues to give grace upon grace upon grace to me. In every demand of life, God will give you all you need to bring Him glory through this 1 word, GRACE. Take a minute and think about whether you are living in God's grace. Here is a little test to think about it: Those living by grace have peace and those not living by grace have frustration. When we are in over our heads, that's when He floods us with grace! I hope God will fill each of you with His grace in each of the parts of your life!
