Scripture: Romans 4:16a "Therefore [God's promise to Abraham and to Abraham's 'seed' concerning eternal life] is of faith that I might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed..."Observation: Without God's grace my salvation, eternal life and peace would not be sure. When left to me the results of menial tasks are always mixed. Perfection is a task that I fail at before I start. God, in his wisdom, removed me from the equation and chose to put the onus of success on the one person that never fails - himself.
Application: Remember today how much God loves me. He is not against me, but rather is far more for me even than I am! In him I find peace, love and acceptance. Believe, have faith in him.
Prayer: Lord, you are good, too good to describe. The truth of this verse causes my spirit to cry out "I love you!" because of your amazing love. You were showering me with grace before I ever realized it and before I gave one care to my rebellion against you or my impending judgment apart from you saving and forgiving me. And now I'm secure because the promise is sure. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
