Riches Of His Grace

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:4-7

Most of us, at some time, face a crisis. Perhaps it will be a job termination, or the results of a medical test. It could be the loss of a precious family member or friend. It is in those times that we must dig deep down into the reserves of our spiritual bank account.

And what might we find there? If we have enjoyed a deepening relationship with God, we’ve been making regular “deposits” of faith. We have experienced His grace. We trust the promise of Scripture that God is just and faithful.

God’s love and grace are available when His children need to make a “withdrawal.”

Remembering God’s faithfulness in the past

strengthens us for the future.
