But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it). __ James 4:6 (AMP)
Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God shown toward man. It is God’s undeserved kindness to us. Grace is God’s enabling power in us.
“God’s Amazing Grace!” If not for the grace of God, where would we be? God gives us grace, the power of the Holy Spirit, to help us to do what we cannot do in our own strength and power. God’s grace is truly amazing.
To many times we struggle and suffer when all we have to do is ask for God’s amazing grace to help us in our time of need. Instead of being frustrated and “Beating our heads against the wall,” trying to do things in our own strength, wasting our time trying hard to accomplish something that is completely hopeless, we need to receive God’s grace. We can’t do it in our own strength. We need God’s strength! We need to receive the grace of God. We need to pray and ask God for the help we need. When we pray, God knows that we are trusting Him. When we trust God, we are receiving His grace. Just say, “God, give me grace.” If you ask in faith, God will give you the grace you need to do His will in your life, to get through the day, and to handle whatever situation you are going through.
Don’t just struggle and be frustrated, receive God’s amazing grace. Why should we struggle with something when God’s grace is available for us?
GOD GIVES US GRACE FOR LIVING SUCCESSFUL LIVES!
Colossians 2:6 (AMP) says, “As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him.
We received Christ totally by putting faith in God’s grace. By grace we are saved through our faith, but we must also live by grace through faith. God didn’t just give us grace (His empowerment) to save us from our sins; He also gave us grace to live successfully in this life. The grace of God is a free gift to everyone for salvation and for godly living.
Grace is the power of God to meet our needs, to solve our problems, and to help us in every area of our lives. We obtain this grace through faith to do anything we need to do. Our faith connects us to God’s grace, and we can use it in our everyday lives. So receive God’s amazing grace today!
Prayer: Lord, I need your grace each and every day of my life. When I get frustrated and begin to struggle in my own strength, help me to remember to ask you to give me the grace I need to accomplish my goals. Thank you for your amazing grace. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
