Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

Deep Within

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Romans 1:20 

After Timothy urges us to intercede in prayer for all people, including those with authority over our lives, he writes: “This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:3-4) Together with our passage quoted above, I am encouraged to know God is revealing Himself, through His prevenient grace, to all people, everywhere.

I am also encouraged to know that God’s prevenient grace continues to be at work within me. I am so very blessed to be living in the stunningly beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the oldest mountains on our planet. Every time I walk outside my home, I am surrounded by the wonders of God’s creation. Every winter, when spring is maybe just a month away, Cheryl finds Forsythia buds starting to come out. She will take some cuttings and place them in a vase. Then, in the warmth of our home, they blossom. We have God’s creation, springtime in wintertime, in our home. God uses these moments to remind me that for God, who looked at a world that did not exist, and spoke it into being by the power of His word, nothing is impossible. (Genesis 1 - The phrase "God looked at a world that did not exist" refers to the biblical concept of creation ex nihilo, where God brought forth the universe and everything within it from nothing.)

My Takeaway: The wonder of God’s self-revelation in His creation helps me stay in His grace for today.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
