Psalm 123 (NASB)
To You I lift up my eyes,
O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly filled with contempt.
Our soul is greatly filled
With the scoffing of those who are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud.

We pray for God’s grace. It is abundant; it flows freely to us because of His love for us. But do we pay it forward?

I know it is so easy for me to forget that I should give grace for the grace that has been given to me. The grace that has been showered on me should generate grace for others, but sometimes it doesn’t. And it’s not just the people that I really know, but those that I see in the media. People that I only know by their public persona. God’s common grace falls on all creation. And His special grace flows without end on His kingdom. How can I not give grace to all too?

Heavenly Father, Your grace astounds me. But I forget. My pride, my contempt gets in my way. I pray for a grace from you that would overflow to others in a way that would be a living example of Your Gospel. Amen.

Always praying for the glory of God,
