Under the circumstances that I'm in right now, (no job, living with parents, etc...) I'm reminded about the incredible grace that God has for me everyday. Not only for me a believer but even for the unbeliever. We share in God's incredible grace of today. Breathing, walking, talking, digesting, just my very being all are from the hand of a sovereign God who is good to his creation. Amongst the pain and sorrow, the questions and fears, I can't help but stop and realize that God is good beyond measure to us. Things could be much worse, and for most people in this world they are. But I've been given so much. I have an education, a house that is a rental, a beautiful faithful wife, and wonderful, healthy little girl that shares my last name. Parents that love me and have sacrificed again for our needs. Friends, family, and even those I've never met have been praying for us.
From the beginning, weather I understood it or not, my life has been a gift. My brain, talents, money, and time is all his and given to me for his glory. I am doubly owned as a child of God. I did not ask for my life, and even my salvation was under no plan or design of my own. It's all by grace.
Father, please open my eyes to the wondrous grace that you give us. You are good to us, even better to your people. You gave us your son, how could you not graciously give us all things. I love you.
