Grace Empowers Success
Even as a baby his parents knew that
he was special. They set him aside and saved him from sure demise from a
government who sought to destroy him. When he grew up his greatness was
recognized by all who came in contact with him. His strong, confident attitude
did not overshadow his humility which made him the envy of those who sought to
replace him.
His compassion for others caused him
to make a horrific mistake and he was exiled from his people and the land he
loved. He must have thought his life was over until he made a new life for
himself far from his home country. God’s plan for his life had not changed.
Only the circumstances of his life had changed. God’s grace remained the same.
The favor he had was not replaced by his surroundings. When the time was right,
God used him to restore a people who had been crying out for relief. A people
who many times rejected God, only to have him come to their aid time and time
again throughout the ages.
Moses was the man! He was successful
in everything he did. Even in his flight from the Egyptians, God maintained him
and kept his hand upon him. It should be noted that not all of Moses’ life was
comfortable, but it was all blessed by God. God had promised success to Moses
if he would obey him.
God’s grace is what empowers us to
have success. Because of his plan for Mankind, you are promised a successful
life if you will focus on God. It is God’s grace that grants success.
God could have wiped out Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden after their disobedience. Instead, he clothed them
and sent them out with the knowledge of how to feed and house themselves. He
gave them the ingredients to have a successful life. He told them to be
fruitful and multiply. Most equate that with procreation of the species, but I
believe God was talking about all aspects of life. In other words, go forth
into the earth and live an abundant life according to God’s grace.
The grace we have has already been
promised to us. We can expect God to manifest his grace to us through his
promises. The wicked and the righteous receive grace daily. Those who do not
know Christ experience even more grace.
