We love grace, we love the unmerited favour, the gifts from God that we don’t deserve. But should we just leave it at that, accept God’s gifts and relax in them? Paul says there’s more to it than that. Let’s look at 2 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 8 and meditate on this verse. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
We learn a lot about grace from this verse, that God is pouring grace onto us. He is making grace abound. He can do this. He can give us so much more than we deserve.
And through this mechanism of grace, we are made ready. We have all sufficiency. We are prepared for every circumstance. We are prepared for all times.
And it’s important that we are prepared. We accept this preparation that grace gives us so that then we may be used by God. Freely we have received, so now we must freely give as Jesus instructed us.
As we receive God’s grace, let us respond with gratitude first, and then let us say to him, right God, now what would you have me do with all that you have given to me? Let us not hold things tightly in our hands, but let us be generous with this grace and spread it wherever we go.
God, your grace to us is mind blowing. Thank you that you have prepared us and you are preparing us for your purposes. Thank you that you choose to use us, to work through us so that your will may be done on this earth.
God, please help us to make good choices, to choose not to be lazy, but to move forward with boldness, knowing that you have given us all sufficiency for all things at all times. Amen.
