Our Gracious God

Wow! Looking at my blog, i can't believe it's been nearly two years since i've published something. i'm sure you know how it goes with the busyness that life brings.

Often when i lead in prayer during worship, i'll thank God for the breath that He gave us to return praise to His Name. This past Sunday as i reflected upon this, i thought about the fact that not only does God give us the breath to praise Him but He also gives us the breath to dishonor Him.

The very God Who, according to Paul in Acts 17, is the One in Whom we live and move and have our being, is the same God Who empowers us to do everything. The very energy He gives me to serve Him is the same energy He gives me to sin against Him. What a Gracious God that rules over all!

May you and i live each day remembering that it is a gift from God. May every breath that we take remind us of the One Who gave us that breath and may we always be amazed by His loving grace. Thanks for reading.
