Today’s Meditation Click to read: 1 Kings 19:17 Delegate. Another simple principle which shows the grace of God at work in our lives. Do you know that you don’t have to do everything? Do you know that it’s not your responsibility to save the human race? Do you also know that Jesus Himself did not preach to, heal or show His power to everyone on the earth while He was here? Delegating means that you give up … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: 1 Kings 19:13-16 Get to work. This simple statement is another way of God showing us His grace. Here, Elijah had come out of the cave and had heard the voice of God speaking to him. God asked Elijah what he was doing there, and Elijah answered the same was as he did earlier: I’m here on the run because of you, and everyone hates me and wants to kill me. Notice … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: 1 Kings 19:9-12 Get out of the cave. God’s simple instructions get right to the heart of our problems. That’s another way He shows His grace to us. God didn’t stop Elijah on his trek to the mountain of Horeb. It was a holy place. God had met Moses here in a burning bush hundreds of years earlier. He had spoken audibly to the children of Israel here and had made a … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: 1 Kings 19:1-8 Get up and eat. It sounds simple, but God showed grace to Elijah in that short statement. He knew what was ahead of Elijah. A greatly discouraged prophet had walked all day into the wilderness (think “hot sun in a robe, maybe even a garment of hair”). He was hot. He was tired. He was hungry. He was complaining. He couldn’t take any more, so he thought, and he … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: John 9:24-38 There is a verse in John where Jesus reminds us of the grace of God when He states, “He who comes to me I will never, ever cast out.” This poor man had been blind since birth. He was minding his own business begging alms of the people who passed by. We do not read that he asked to be healed or even cried out to Jesus to touch him. … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation 0 Click to read: Luke 21:36 God’s grace enables us to escape His wrath. We know this in an eternal sense, but there will be a generation that lives (and dies) to endure the wrath of the Almighty God. Simply put, I don’t want to be here. And Jesus stated here that we don’t have to be a part of this awesome judgment. His grace is available to those who will ask for it. Have you prayed specifically for this grace lately? If not, ask Him. “Jesus, I pray now that I and my family will be accounted worthy to escape those things that are coming upon the earth. Help me to watch, and may I stand before you in that day.” Forget arguments. Forget pre-trib, mid-trib and post-trib. Forget who has the … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation 0 Click to read: Zechariah 2:8 God’s grace is also our protection. Think about it. If God did not send His angels to guard us and keep us, if our welfare were truly left up to our genius or our survival abilities, how far would we make it? We are not left in such a predicament. God protects us daily. And His warning to those who would mess with His people is that we are the apple of His eye, a very special people. We must remember that the grace of God sifts everything that is allowed to come our way. His grace is the rule which either prevents an attack completely or allows it to proceed for our benefit. How many times have we been completely spared from an all out … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation 0 Click to read: Mark 10:17-21 How else is God’s grace manifest to us? We always think of grace as God giving us something, and yet in this instance, Jesus is trying to take away something from the rich young ruler. More precisely, He told this young wealthy man to sell all that he had and give it to the poor. Why did Jesus say this? Quite plainly, because He loved the young man. Jesus looked at him and looked INTO him and saw a man who could be His disciple right along with the rest of the crowd. And Jesus wanted the man to succeed. You see, the man thought that he owned riches, but in reality, the riches owned the man. The reason Jesus wanted to strip away the earthly … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation 0 Click to read: Matthew 4:16 “Those that sat in darkness have seen a great light.” The amazing thing about God’s grace is that He comes looking for people who aren’t looking for Him. The gentiles were in darkness and hopelessness for thousands of years. They sought futility and found despair in their idols. Imagine searching for what you think is truth but never finding it. Imagine going to bed every night with an unknown dread of eternity and having all the questions concerning your existence and purpose but NEVER, EVER being able to receive relief from it all. But God designed that the gentiles–most of us reading this–should hear the good news that God loves us and wants to forgive us. God wanted it to be different for all nations. His … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation 0 Click to read: John 13:12-14 Did you ever know someone who was more interested in what you could do for them than what they could do for you? People in public office and leaders of corporations often get bloated egos and imbalanced views of their own importance. The little guy becomes a means to an end. This is the opposite of the kingdom of God. Do you want to see grace? See Jesus: Son of God, Creator of the Universe, the Anointed One, Healer of Broken Hearts, Giver of Life, Lion of Judah, Lamb of God, Judge of the Earth. Then picture Him taking off His garments and wrapping a towel around Himself, probably not a silk one either. After that, He kneels down and washes dirty feet of twelve “little … Read entire article »
