God’s grace is enough for today

Ruth Cook: When the Bible says, “Weep with those who weep; and rejoice with those who rejoice,” (Romans 12:15), we understand everyone has times of weeping and times of rejoicing in their lives. We have weddings and divorces, love connections and breakups, births and deaths, times of wealth and times of want, times of depression and times of elation at the blessing of God. Life is all of this—miracles and tragedy. “I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances,” Paul wrote (Philippians 4:11).

As soon as I started to read this message from Ruth Cook in the Baptist Standard, God told me, SHARE THIS TO THE WORLD! YES LORD! So powerful and loving! Thank you Ruth and the Baptist Standard for your service to the world!

Sharon and I went to the doctor AGAIN this week. In the last two years we have spent to much time at the doctors office! My goodness! Then are battles with our insurance to cover our medications! UGH! No wonder Ruth’s message hit home with me today! LOL! Who is that 70 year old man in the mirror??? LOL! LOL!

I have close friends who are recently widowed, getting biopsies and taking chemo, learning to use walkers and canes, wondering if life and travel as they knew it are over, wondering, “Are doctor appointments all I have left?”

We need something, but we cannot manufacture it ourselves from what is left of us.

We need God’s grace to finish life, to complete our calling. We need God to make a way and show us a new way of life that glorifies him and fills us with contentment and joy.

Grace can have a broad definition. It means, “God’s undeserved favor,” but beyond that, grace is also who God is and all he does. Grace is his work in us through Christ and the Spirit. More Here
