Grace for all

Greetings:
Grace is much more than a short, quick prayer we say before a meal.
It is the same word we use to describe God’s almost immense love for sinners.
It is grace that moves God to make available to us the free gift of salvation and forgiveness.
Grace simply means, “unmerited favor”. Favor that is not earned therefore it is unmerited.
The source of God’s grace is his love.
We should all thankful that God does not treat us we deserve.
Great grace is released when we truly enter his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Make the time to praise the Lord and to bless his Holy Name this day.
In Psalm 46:10 we are instructed to be still and know that God is God.
The scripture reads: “Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!"
Spending quiet time in the Lord's presence is necessary and carries great importance. It is as we wait upon Him that we are renewed in power and strength as we are reminded in Isaiah 40:28-31.
It reads in the Amplified Bible:  “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.
 He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;
 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.”
Each of us must find a special quiet place where we can shut out the cares of this world and get alone with God. Each day, we need to come to our "set apart place" to worship, acknowledge His goodness and grace concerning us, and thank the Lord for His guidance and blessing upon our lives.
There is no doubt that we live in a world that must have the grace and peace of God. Finding our own place of 'amazing grace' is the place to start.
A biblical view of “amazing grace” insists we were blind to the light of the gospel,  but God called light from darkness and gave us sight because God mercifully performed a miracle that opened our blind eyes to see his  truth.
Be blessed today.
