Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. Ephesians 5:1-2 NKJV

20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the
Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not
be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you
shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:2o-21
The economy, immorality, families struggling. These seems to be
more and more a part of our daily lives. It’s depressing. What are we to
do when our world looks hopeless? Do we hope in political reform? When
that doesn’t work out, do we search for wealth or protection? Guess
what? Those of us who have felt the sunshine of God’s love, the passion
of a Savior who gave Himself for us, don’t have to continue the search.
We already have the answer in our grasp. The answer is God’s grace and
faithfulness.
Now
unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask
or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:20 KJV
It is what it is . We hear this phrase all the time. It’s in our
culture’s daily conversation and it refers to something we don’t like
but can’t fix.Yes, it is a step up from the total futility
of,’Whatever’! But what about”God is at work”? “Thy Kingdom come, thy
will be done”? There is no resignation to things that are in these
phrases they ring with hope in God’s awareness of our condition and His
power to change whatever ‘it’ is.
But
by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without
effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace
of God that was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV
