Graceful Truth

God’s mercy is His goodness poured out on undeserving people. It is God not giving people what they deserve but what He desires to give because He is God.

“The people … found grace in the wilderness.” My, my. The summary of our lives in one verse. Amid this world’s darkness, the Enemy’s relentless attacks, and the weakness of our flesh, we are continually finding grace from our Father, even in the wilderness. In fact, especially in the wilderness.

The great theologian Clint Eastwood said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” Wise is the man who understands his weakness early and lives a life of dependence upon the Root of David. It will be an everlasting source of life and fruitfulness to and through him.

How do you lead people in faith when everything seems to be going in the opposite direction? When all the odds are against you? When others are distracting and contradicting the things you believe God wants to say? When it doesn’t seem to be working, although you feel that you are honestly following what God has told you to do?
