But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” - James 4:6 ESV
It seems that we often find ourselves exhausted and exasperated as a result of stretching and straining towards accomplishing our goals in life. Added to this is the unhealthy motivation of reaching towards life goals only in an attempt to impress others or surpass others in terms of life achievement.
We often operate in life out of a theology of " Works Righteousness" . We attempt to work our way into God's grace and blessing. But the inconvenient truth is that no amount of work can truly save us, except the saving work of Jesus on the cross.
Reconsider your pursuit and passion today. Receive God's Amazing Grace with an open heart. God's riches and Christ expense- Grace, can be found and experienced in the simple things in life. Beautiful sunsets, brilliant fall colors, wonderful winter landscapes, and fragrant flowers during the spring all communicate to us that God gives more grace.
In spite of our failures. God gives more grace. If God's grace could be earned...then it would not be grace. It can only be received.
We find God's grace through humility. Maybe it's high time we lower ourselves...humble ourselves...and find God's Grace.
