Remember, “Grace is what God gives us when we don't deserve and mercy is when God doesn't give us what we do deserve. ~ unknown.
Scripture:
I love you, O LORD , my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD , who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:1-3
Saints,
How many times have you found yourself so overwhelmed by life and didn't know what to do? How many times have you looked for an answer and couldn't find it? How often have you tried to talk to your friends or family about your situation and they just didn't have time or didn't seem to understand what your problem was?
Too often we seek solace and comfort in the wrong places. Too often we will turn to alcohol, drugs, or s*x in our quest to find a little bit of peace, just for the moment. Well my brothers and sisters, I know a place where you can go where there is eternal peace. I know someone who always has time to talk about your problems. He even knows how to solve your problems, or at the very least find the answers to your questions.
It called the throne of grace, The altar of sacrificing, the mercy seat, the cross. It's at the feet of the master. On your face; in total submission, and in reverence to his will. It's called surrendering yourself, seeking his face, calling on his name.
Just have a little talk with God. Tell him all about your troubles. And then, leave your all at the altar.
He will make it better, bye and bye.
Be Blessed
Prayer:
Lord, help me to hold out. Father, we come before the throne of grace, the altar of sacrificing, the mercy seat, asking that You would lend an ear to our prayers. Father God, we come lifting up the name of Jesus. We come asking for just one drop of Your grace and mercy. A drop to give us strength and comfort. A drop, to wash away our sins. A drop to heal our sick bodies and spirits. A drop that protects and comforts all in one. Lord, thank You for Your word. Your word that delivers new revelations each day. Your word that teaches and comforts. Your word that delivers. Keep us all wrapped in Your arms and under Your hedge of protection. Jesus, be a fence around us everyday. Lord, hear the cries of Your servants, let not our prayers be in vain. Bless each and everyone represented here today and every member of our respective families. We love You Lord, We bless Your Holy Name. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen
