Exhortation:
Welcome to the brand new month of November. I pray for you that the light of God’s love and grace will shine on you this month like never before. Your earnest expectations will not be cut short; the presence of the Lord will abide with you to bless, guide, guard and strengthen your heart in Jesus name.
It is one thing to know the will of God but it is another thing to be able to carry it out. This is what separates the hearers of God’s word from the doers. The blessing is not in the hearing but in the doing- James 1:22-25.
It is the grace of God upon a man’s life that enables him to be able to do what he hears. Moses gave the Law but so many found it difficult to obey it until Christ brought the enabling solution spelt GRACE.
The word of God says, “Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:16-17 (NIV)
Again the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul the Apostle saying, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” Titus 2:11-13
When it seems we are struggling to carry out God’s will let us approach the Throne of Grace with humility and confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
