Grace, Grace, Marvelous Grace

Scripture: Ephesians 4: 7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

Observation: That little word grace gets tossed around a lot by folks like me and I have to remind myself once in awhile of what grace means. It is a gift from God that is unmerited or not deserved by me.

Application: I am reminded daily that I am a sinner and that I fall short of the grace of God. If I were trying to earn it or buy it, I couldn't because God has loved me first and sought to bring me close and transform me into God's image and God has shed God's grace on me. That is pretty amazing.

Prayer: LOrd, my prayer today is for those who are doing all they can to work out their salvation with fear and trembling--I pray that we all remember the grace that you have given us through Jesus. Thanks for loving me, Stephen

Yieldedness: Help me not toss grace around without remembering its impact and its meaning and from where grace comes.
