Grace is Constant
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8.28
Life is unpredictable. Like the ever-changing seasons, a life of discipleship means change for all members of the Christian faith. Whether we are young or old, new followers of The Way or experienced servants, we encounter the many seasons of the faith: seasons of grief and hope, discouragement and enthusiasm, uncertainty and clarity, naïveté and wisdom. Yet unlike the changing nature of our experiences, the providence of God is constant. God's grace works to give us good gifts. God's goodness does not waver as a result of the circumstances we find ourselves in; rather, it is a fixed source of encouragement. It constantly reminds usthat God is in control, that God loves us immeasurably, and that God works unceasingly for our good and for the good of the Christian community. May we mimic God in this constant activity toward abounding goodness, providence, and love. Nicole Henderson Prayer: God, thank you for your providence and love. Assure me that in all things, in all circumstances, you are working for my good. Grant me hands and feet that work for the good of others. Amen.
