What a wonder the gift of your salvation is! What I actually deserve as a sinner is condemnation, punishment, eternal separation, failure, suffering, hopelessness, despair, death and hell.
But instead, your great and marvelous grace—ever flowing, never ending, always giving—pours continually into my life, bringing undeserved forgiveness, gracious cleansing, ongoing transformation, needed strengthening, clear guidance, great goodness, positive power and wide wisdom.
To live in the light of your presence, to walk in the shining paths of your righteousness, to bask in the radiance of your love, to see by the brilliant illumination of your Word—these are the privileges of the children of God and we praise you for them.
We are saved by grace, sealed by grace, sanctified by grace, strengthened by grace. And in you, Lord Jesus, we are safe, for you are the Most High, you are the Almighty One, you are the undefeated and undefeatable One. In you we can rest. Glory be to your Name!
Prayer: “I praise you for what your power and grace will do in and through me today, in spite of how I may feel and fail. May all be for your glory. Help me to focus on you, draw my stability, wisdom, strength and understanding from you, Lord Jesus. May I honor you in all I do today. Amen.”
