Godly Grace
Luke 2:40And the Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. (NASB)
Often, we look to God for His grace in time of need. Often, we ask for grace in times of trouble, and it never occurs to us that we can also ask God for His grace in time of needed wisdom when studying His Word.
In today’s verse we see Christ (Child) growing and becoming strong, increasing in wisdom during which time the grace of God was upon Him. God wants no less for us than to seek His grace when we are learning through His Word and its application to our daily lives. He wants us to come to Him when we are confused. If we do not go to God during these times of confusion, Satan will come upon us and make us begin to doubt the Holy Word of God. This is the toehold in life that Satan uses quite often to begin his decay of our lives.
We must remember that the enemy is crafty and will use any means possible to destroy us. Keep Satan at bay by putting God in the way. He will protect us when we ask Him to.
Today give God the opportunity to move through you as you study His Word. May He continually grow in your heart as you earnestly seek Him and His ways for you.
Prayer:Dear Lord Jesus, Guide me into an understanding of the times I need Your grace applied in my life. Help me to be aware of my needs and surroundings that I may always know when a call out to You in prayer for grace is needed. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!
