Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.
If you want God’s promises to be sure in your life, you cannot depend on yourself. If you depend on yourself—your obedience, goodness, service and even faith—you will not be able to receive God’s promises. But when you depend on God’s grace & mercy—that is when His promises become sure in your life.
This was true of the woman with hemorrhage (Mt 9:20–22) She didn’t go around saying, “I must have faith…I hope that I have enough faith…I will have faith…I will not lose faith.” No, she was only conscious of the grace and power of Jesus—how He always healed the sick, how powerful He was in raising the dead and how willing He was to use that power for her healing.
She said, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well”. When the woman saw His grace, God saw her faith! And so it was by grace, through faith, that God’s promise became sure in her life. You too will be made whole, kept healthy, preserved and blessed, by His grace and mercy.
Thought for the day!
When you see God’s grace, He sees your faith, and you will receive the breakthrough you need.
