Exodus 34:6-7
Memory Verse:
“The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness'” (Exodus 34:6 ESV).
Grace is all we enjoy as a result of our belief in Christ Jesus. Grace can also be seen as the spontaneous, unmerited gift of divine favour in the salvation of sinners, and the divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration and sanctification.
The children of Israel who had done wrong in the sight of God needed a means to purify themselves before God. At Mount Sinai, Moses met with the Lord and said; “…If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance” (Exodus 34:9). As a result of the marvellous grace of God, He was merciful unto them and gave them certain instructions to follow.
As children of God, we have been saved by the grace of God. Also, we are enjoying the grace of God in all that we are doing. The grace of God then shouldn’t be taken for granted because doing such comes with consequences. If
you notice you are not in line with God, go to Him with a humble heart, seek His mercy and He will forgive you and restore you.
The grace of God is available to all men not minding their tribe, colour, race or religion. All you need to do to adequately enjoy this is to believe in God and confess Christ as Lord. Enjoy the grace of God.
Prayer Points:
1. May I never misuse Your grace over me, dear Lord.
2. Thank You, Lord, for Your love and compassion.
