Here we see that our God has grace well and truly in His control. In fact I might hazard to say, well or totally in His control. If I exhibit grace it is because He gave it to me first. Amen!
My natural proclivity is a lot less than. Flesh is not gracious, not purely, there is always a god element in it, a wrestling of glory for self. If is is totally free of self then it must be God given.
This God of grace calls us to eternal glory in Christ. We must glory in the finished work of the cross, not ourselves, otherwise we are on the track to idolatry.
He will restore me, establish me, strengthen me and support me, why? After I have suffered a little. How do I suffer? Being rejected, despised, spoken ill of. Not that I am in that place right now, I have been for the longest time. Now, it does not matter, I have been strengthened, amen!
