Balance Life’s Demands with Grace
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”—Romans 9:33 (NIV)
In any given situation, it’s easy to focus on what God should be doing—rather than accept what He is actually doing. If we seek God through our own works we will stumble, but if we faithfully depend on Him we will experience righteousness and salvation.
Our Heavenly Father, I surrender myself into Your hands. Through faith and humble dependence upon You I will not stumble.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)
