Today is the last day of the sixth month of the year. Basically, we are halfway through the year. Halfway already? How did that happen? We\u2019ve all heard how time flies as you get older. Hard to argue with that. Every year seems to come quicker and go by faster. One day or youngest child is just an infant. The next, you look around and she\u2019s married. We\u2019ve also heard how time flies when you\u2019re having fun. I think that partially means that the things that we enjoy doing never seem to last long enough. I could be wrong. But that\u2019s how I view it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking back at the last past few months, we\u2019ve talked about several things. Dealing with obstacles. Overcoming challenges. Celebrating victories. Enjoying successes. And more. But the reoccurring theme that always pops up with what we\u2019re reading and writing about is God\u2018s grace. How God\u2018s grace is involved in everything. Because it\u2019s through his grace that we are able to rejoice no matter what it is that we are facing. Because it\u2019s through his grace that we have the strength to overcome whatever comes our way. And also, because it\u2019s through his grace that we feel the love and hope the only comes from Jesus. When we look at our lives like this, it\u2019s easy to see that his grace is truly involved in everything. And everything means quite literally everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we know this? We know this because we read this. It\u2019s in God\u2018s word. The Bible tells us that God\u2018s grace is sufficient. And I know sometimes it\u2019s very hard to believe this. Especially, whenever things seem insurmountable. But even in times like that, times that seem insurmountable, we still turn towards God for his grace. I believe that is because often we do not know what else to do. Where else to turn. Sometimes even those that do not believe will ask for prayer. Seeking God\u2018s grace. That\u2019s how powerful it is. I often pray for God to put a hedge of protection around my family. To cover us with his cloak. That\u2019s my way of asking for his grace. Have you ever asked for his protection? Maybe today would be a great day to ask for God to cover you. To ask him into all aspects of your life. Let his grace go to work on you. And then others will see his hope and his love through you. Just think about where that could go. So glorious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
