Grace for your spirit. January 24, 2012

Grace for your spirit
For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. Romans 12:3

Entitlement can be a dangerous thing. When we think we are entitled to everything because we are so special or deprived, life can be filled with disappointments. We can think the world owes us a living, and that everything special should be ours, no matter how we live. When we are really in touch with God's grace, it should be a very humbling process. It should help us realize that God is great and we are nothing without Him. Some think that God owes us a home in heaven. God's grace can save us, equip us, transform us, sustain us, and give us a clearer picture of how to use our faith, but God owes us nothing. Before we demand our rights, remember, if we get what we deserve, we will be lost eternally.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
