Day 13 "Grace Has Brought You Peace"
Peaceful Beauty
Good Morning Beauties!
As I was researching “grace and peace” on the internet, a funny thing happened. I ran across one of my journal entries from my 2024 Fall Journey. How cool is that?
At first, I bypassed it and kept going on my search, but then I sensed the Lord wanted me to go back and read it. After my review and prayer, I believe this is the right message for today. We will never know the extent of God’s grace. Each day we live in the grace He says is enough for that day. The new supply is endless, it never fails, and this truth brings us peace - assurance like nothing else in the world.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
God’s favor given to us, though undeserved, provides our salvation, (through faith) but doesn’t stop there. God showers us with grace each and every day. His blessing is ours though we continue to make mistakes and falter. He sees our broken pieces, and in His great love and compassion, extends His amazing grace. Hallelujah!! Thank you, Jesus!
So the question is, if we live under God’s grace, why do we still live with anxiety? We’ve been given salvation - we will live and reign with Jesus for eternity, so why the stress and fear? Selah.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
It’s time to surrender our anxiety to God in prayer and live in the fullness of His grace and peace. Another way to say it is, we need to lay down all the lists, busy schedules, expectations, and demands, and give them to God in prayer, and then find His rest.
What do you need to surrender today? Is it activity or something internal? Make a list in your journal and then, one by one, hand them over to Jesus. Through His grace, He will bring peace, and rest. Selah.
