Week Twelve-Day Three: End of Day
Getting my mind around the grace of God has been a significant part of my own personal testimony. I spent the early years of my spiritual journey trying to “do right.” I don’t blame this on anybody’s teaching. I think this is a natural way to approach religion (which may explain why Jesus sounded so strange to his listener’s ears – and to ours at times). At least it seemed natural for me. I know many others who have had the same experience.
But in my mid-twenties, I got a glimpse of grace – Wow! The bad news is it dealt a serious blow to my pride. I did not even know that pride figured into my religious practice at all, until grace uncovered its covert actions. The good news is that I felt a freedom, gratitude and dependence that I had never really known. I had been a Christian for a while, but I felt like I was converted for the first time!
- Spend a moment rehearsing Ephesians 2:8-10.Try to nail down at least verse 8.
- End your day by praying this: “Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.”
- Rest in His grace!
- Lights out!
