GRACE

Shio Shio Gai Loti Entry #6

(Hebrews 12:1)
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."

All of us have different races in life that we are running and competing to be the best, to be NUMBER 1 - Christian faith, Work, Family, Friendship, Studies,etc.

(Heb 12:1) said that we should all run with endurance the race that is set before us. That is because along the way, we might face challenges, obstacles and unexpected situations that will affect us in finishing the race, achieving the prize.

We are not alone in the race, God is always with us. We should constantly remind ourselves to include God in the race because:

God + race = GRACE
With God in the race, His grace is also with us.

(2 Corinthians 12:9)
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness".

God's grace is sufficient for us all the time and our weaknesses is an opportunity for God to reveal His strength in us.

"Sufficient" (Webster dictionary) = "enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end"

When we have God in the race, His grace is always enough to help us overcome the situation. More than often, it is us who have a limited mindset about God.

We might fail in the race but always remember that God's grace is more than enough for us because:

Grace = "God Releases A Chance Everytime"

(1 Peter 5:5-6)
"God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble". Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Let's be humble and learn to include God in all the races that we are in. Pray and seek God everyday that the mighty hand of God will come upon us, exalting us in due time.

(Hebrews 4:16)
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and grace to help in time of need"
