Upwords (C) 2016 Max Lucado – Grace Upon Grace

We
dare to hang our hat and stake our hope on the gladdest news of all– if
God permits the challenge, he will provide the grace to meet it. God
has enough grace to solve every dilemma you face, wipe every tear you
cry, and answer every question you ask.

Would
we expect anything less from God? Would he send his Son to die for us
and not send his power to sustain us? Paul found such logic impossible.
Scripture says, “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for
us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all
things?” (Romans 8:32).

Is
Jesus on my side? Just look at the wound in his. Having given the
supreme and costliest gift, how can he fail to lavish upon us all he has
to give?  If God permits the challenge, he will provide the grace to
meet it.
