Good morning.
We trust you are we rested after the weekend.
If you are anything like us, you’ve likely faced pitfalls in life. Regardless of what you’re going through, you can count on God’s sustaining grace.
• God’s sustaining grace helps us to keep standing when we’re tempted. Temptation can cause us to stumble. The Bible says, "God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
(1 Corinthians 10:13) God will provide a way to escape when we are tempted.
• God’s sustaining grace helps you when you’re tired. Life is often exhausting. Where does one get the power to do the right thing when you’re dead tired? The key is having the Holy Spirit in your heart. Paul tells us, "it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." (2 Corinthians 1:21-22)
• God’s sustaining grace gives you the power to keep going when you’re troubled. There are some things in life that are unplanned, unrelenting, and undeserved—and they hurt the most. Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
As you go about your day, be assured that you can count on God’s sustaining grace.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
