TOPIC:
THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD’S GRACE
Every
human being, irrespective of religious belief, social and economic status,
especially in Africa, recognizes the presence of a divine authority that
blesses mankind.
However,
only the God of the Holy Bible is gracious and merciful. He gives human beings
what they cannot pay for and blesses them beyond what they deserve.
The
Psalmist portrays this clearly in today’s in his opening plea that God should
be “gracious to us and blesses us and make His face shine on us.”
The
expression of God’s grace will be visible in three areas as deduced from the
six verses: first, the grace of God will certainly cause all the nations to
know His ways and experience His salvation.
Secondly,
God’s grace will elicit a series of praises and worship and acknowledge the
glory and majesty of God.
Third,
people will prosper through the works of their hands and by this demonstrate
that God is the giver of all good things, whether food or wealth.
Going
through these verses should remind the reader that unless the Lord Himself
blesses us, our toil and struggles in life are futile.
QUESTION:
Do you feel that everything you possess is exclusively through your personal
strength?
PRAYER:
Thank You, dear Lord Jesus Christ, for without Your grace and mercy, I will be
nothing. Help me to live every day with that thought in mind. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
