Today we continue to look at God’s grace! The old hymn entitled “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” is so powerful and it’s words so beautifully speak of how the things on earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace. “
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace. “
This blessed gift of grace is from God, and it is ours, and all we have to do is ask Him for it. Again I will remind you that it is free, and it will strengthen you to do His will and it will carry you when you feel you cannot go on any longer. Our hearts must strive to remain humble for God resists the proud in heart. This grace will regenerate you as this great strength proceeds from the Spirit of the living God.
Today I want to share about when we ask for His grace that it is by faith. As we release our faith for God’s grace in our time of weakness or need, we need to know in our hearts that God is faithful to grant it to us.
“The Lord God is a sun and shield:
the Lord will give grace and glory;
no good thing will He withhold
from them that walk uprightly.”
Psalm 84:11
Lord, we lift our hearts to You and humbly ask for your grace today. We are so blessed to serve a loving God that withholds no good thing as we purpose in our hearts to walk upright before You. Your Word says in Proverbs 4:18 that the path of those who live right is like the early morning light. It gets brighter and brighter until the full light of day. Thank you for blessing us with Your grace and Your glory as we keep the eyes of our hearts turned toward You.
