Drawing on the Grace of God—Now
We . . . plead with you not to receive
the grace of God in vain
—2 Corinthians 6:1
—2 Corinthians 6:1
". . . in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors . . ." ( 2 Corinthians 6:5 )—in all these things, display in your life a drawing on the grace of God, which will show evidence to yourself and to others that you are a miracle of His. Draw on His grace now, not later. The primary word in the spiritual vocabulary is now. Let circumstances take you where they will, but keep drawing on the grace of God in whatever condition you may find yourself. One of the greatest proofs that you are drawing on the grace of God is that you can be totally humiliated before others without displaying even the slightest trace of anything but His grace.
". . . having nothing . . . ." Never hold anything in reserve. Pour yourself out, giving the best that you have, and always be poor. Never be diplomatic and careful with the treasure God gives you. ". . . and yet possessing all things"—this is poverty triumphant ( 2 Corinthians 6:10 ).
In Christ,
Janet
