BREATHE IN

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

It's the same for the rich and poor

The same for the saint and for the sinner

Enough for this whole wide world

Your great grace

Oh, such grace

There in the darkest night of the soul

There in the sweetest songs of victory

Your grace finds me

So I'm breathing in Your grace

And breathing out Your praise – Redman

(You're Grace Finds Me)

Are you BREATHING in GOD’s GRACE this morning?

What about BREATHING out PRAISE for its "AMAZINGNESS"?

FOR:

God’s grace, as REDMAN points out, is unconditional.

It is sufficient…My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. – 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

It is there in the good and in the bad.

Doesn’t that offer such reassurance for today?

Remember…

“He (GOD) never mocks your weaknesses or throws your sin in your face. He never gets tired of you or gives up on his relationship with you. He doesn’t ask you to earn what you can never deserve, and he never makes you feel guilty for needing his good gifts. His love isn’t conditional and his grace is never temporary.” - Tripp

I know I have shared that little quote from Tripp before, but in today’s context I want you to BREATHE those PROMISES in.

Grace never tires.

Grace never gives up.

Grace never mocks.

Grace doesn’t pressure.

Grace doesn’t collect.

Grace doesn’t shame.

Grace doesn’t keep score.

Grace is without bounds.

Grace is without end.

BREATHE that in! 

For THIS IS the air we breathe... as Michael W. Smith penned.

...and with every hearty exhale we SHOULD PRAISE GOD for it.

Try this…

“Oh, God, to know you is life.

To serve You is freedom.

To praise you is the soul's joy and delight.

Guard me with the power of Your grace here and in all places.

Now and at all times, forever. Amen.”

― Augustine of Hippo

 

BREATHE GRACE.

EXHALE PRAISE.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

Love all of you
