Scripture:
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
— 2 Corinthians 4:15 (NIV)
Paul claims that the way God’s grace reaches us is in the struggle of this life. It is not God’s will for us to live in the crucible of life, but when we inevitably find ourselves there, He redeems our struggle through His grace. As He does, we overflow with thanksgiving to Him, thanksgiving that leads to His glory. What testimony can you share with others about God’s grace?
Prayer:
Dear God, help me recognize Your grace in my struggle, that I may give testimony to Your faithfulness. May my testimony lead to thanksgiving overflowing to Your glory. I will listen to Your promptings today. I will endure any present suffering, that the testimony of Your grace might reach as many as will receive it.
