Grace for Today…and Tomorrow


“God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.” – C.S. Lewis

God uses situations and circumstances to provide and protect us for a future only He can see. His grace walks beside us and goes ahead of us.

Grace walks beside us in the tough and challenging times. It is there for us in that very moment we need it, when we’re not strong enough to go on, it carries us. God gives us His grace for the daily journey we walk. We don’t deserve it, but He gives it. Grace works to intimately care for each of our daily needs.

Grace also goes ahead of us, preparing for a future only God can see. God’s grace protects us, arming us now for the battles ahead. He allows us to journey through challenging circumstances to make us stronger for what He knows is ahead. He wraps us in His grace to protect and strengthen us – if we allow Him.

Grace begins with trusting God. Trusting Him to provide, lead, and sustain us. Grace comes from God’s immense love for us. So much love that He sent His only Son to die for our sins… and be raised to life to give us new life. He doesn’t charge us anything to receive his forgiveness and grace – and no amount of good works will earn it.

This is the grace we strive to extend to all those we serve day in and day out – a grace that provides help today, and creates hope for tomorrow. 

Do you want God’s grace? Just ask.

Do you know someone who needs to experience God’s grace? Extend it.
