Today’s Scripture

“For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, and it pierces more sharply than a two-edged sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts. There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before his eyes, to whom we must render an account. So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty. He understands humanity, for as a Man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin. So now we come freely and boldly to where love is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.”             

Hebrews 4:12-16

Today’s Thought

Enabling grace is the kind of grace that helps you overcome the difficulties of this world… His grace is sufficient, it’s the enabling power to do what you could not do by yourself… This kind of grace is there to help you go through the troubles of this world.

Today’s Confession

Father, your enabling grace surrounds and envelopes me as I traverse the challenges of today’s world. Your grace is sufficient for me to do what seems too difficult to do alone. I lean into you with my whole heart and say Grace Grace! Knowing that you will bring me through it all.
