Working Along With Grace
Yenny Kartika Official Writer
12571 Peter 5:5b
Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm22[/bible]; [bible]matth22[/bible]; [bible]isaia1-2[/bible]
A pastor of a church in Canada, Kevin Rogers, likened the grace of God to an imaginary secretary named Grace. Instead of arranges his schedule, Grace ruins it all so he cannot obey his Day-Timer. Grace lets the strangest people into his workspace to interrupt him and lets calls go through.
Grace compels him to treat other people as God does. Some times Rogers wishes that Grace were not there. But Grace has an amazing way of covering Rogers’ mistakes and turning the office into a holy place. She finds good in everything, even failures.
God gives us salvation through His unmerited grace, love, and favor. God tells us that instead of relating to others from a position of superiority, we must put others ahead of ourselves. Wear the clothes of humility because He “resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
The Lord is God of all grace who controls our lives. He can transform interruptions into opportunities, mistakes into successes, pride into humility, and suffering into strength. This is the amazing power of God. This is the evidence of His grace!
God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.
