Iron Sharpens Iron
Good morning; I pray you had great worship on this past Lord’s Day with a local body of believers. This morning believers and non-believers should wake up thanking God for His GRACE! I shared in the thoughts of the apostle Paul when he said, “By the GRACE of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain, but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the GRACE of God which was with me” (1 Cor. 15:10). Paul was grateful for the GRACE of God that saved him, as well as the GRACE of God that allowed him to serve in the Kingdom of God. My friend, we are not deserving of the GRACE of God, but I am so thankful that He (God) continues to show me unmerited favor. I want to surround myself with folks who love God, who loves His church, and are excited about the service God has called them into. We must serve God with the same grace we asked for when we got saved. And Paul warns the Corinthian believers, “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (v.33). Father, I pray for my fellow believers in Christ that we would walk in the same GRACE that saved us. Father, I pray we would surround ourselves with people who are excited about God and Your work, “Iron Sharpens Iron.”
