(inspired by old stories)
“For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Matthew 7:8 NLT
More stuff to do than time or resources to get it done the way I wanted/planned/expected. It has to get done–nobody cares. Welcome to life. Today was supposed to be one of those days; it’s the way I envisioned the week. I won’t complain. I won’t complain because I know that there, just beyond my grasp or line of sight, is mercy enough to do everything necessary to satisfy God’s plan. And that should be the lesson, right? That is the lesson, but not the only one. God is so much bigger than our imaginings, and that lesson alone gives me one more reason to Praise Him.
I assess the day, offering praise that “it is what it is.” I have shown up, and for all those who laid down last night and did not rise to face another day, I offer thanks. Even if I’m not certain how. I am assured that things will happen, not on wishes, but on Faith.
Here’s the thing about Grace, it moves quietly into place. If you’re not paying attention, you might miss it all together. “I almost forgot about…” That’s Grace. “Why didn’t I remember before….” That’s Grace. “Really, I couldn’t….” That’s Grace. “Whew, I found it, just when I needed it most…” That’s Grace. I could go on, but you know what I mean-I can almost see you’re nodding your head.
Unexpected, like you’d appreciate Grace as much if you knew it was coming. Which we should know, but we never remember.
