Reconciling GraceSample

Anointing Grace

The prophet Jeremiah was called to speak to a people who had forsaken the Lord. When he went out to them, he encountered resistance from a nation that had already been delivered from the oppressive regime of Pharaoh in the land of Egypt. Yet Jeremiah persistently confronted the leaders who had led God’s people astray. Even after he was taken captive to Egypt, Jeremiah never stopped doing what he was called to do.

Going through my own wilderness experience, dealing with a monumental miscarriage of justice for twenty-three years, I have been stretched, challenged, and changed. God’s grace—his unmerited favor and mercy—has been sufficient for me as I have been able to overcome obstacles and trust him in all things. No good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly in his anointing grace. He will do the same for you.

Each of us was born with a special gift and purpose. Through God’s grace, we are able to survive all kinds of trials. Let us remember that his grace is all we need. In grace, I am guaranteed sufficiency, more than enough.

Prayer

Father, thank you for your anointing grace. Thank you that because of your grace, mercy, and everlasting love, we are able to survive our wilderness experience. Thank you that through your loving kindness, we are being rebuilt and restored. Thank you that because of your grace, we are not consumed. Help us to see how much you love us. We love you and praise you. In Jesus’s name, AMEN.
