I started noticing His grace in the weirdest ways. The other day I was driving to pick up some medicine on the other side of town and was just driving by myself, not even paying attention to the road (which I don't normally do). Ya know like when you drive familiar streets all the time that it's second nature? Well I didn't know where I was exactly going this time. It clicked in my mind that I wasn't looking for the street I was suppose to turn left on. But when I realized this, I was already in the left turn lane. Like it was automatic, even though I didn't know this section of town too well. That happened 3 times that day. I was driving safely but didn't take the time to think about where I was suppose to go and directions to get there and I ended up going the right ways. I know this is a funny way of being reminded of God's grace...but that day I just realized that even though I was distracted, God got me to the right place. I don't deserve it, but he takes care of my mistakes.
I noticed that when I was working, too. For some reason I had to go back to a previous project and I happened to find a mistake I made in the process. Out of all the things to look back on, it was the one with a mistake to be fixed. That mistake could have been there forever and caused problems. I just chuckle to myself at God being so good to point that out to me, otherwise I would have never caught it.
Even though I am a broken person who makes mistakes, he just looks down and smiles, knowing how to fix everything. Can you believe that the creator pours this much grace upon us? And His grace is never ending! Meaning no matter what we have done, how bad we think we are, or how much hurt we have caused...He covers it when we let him take the reins. He wipes that all away and pardons us from what we deserve. He makes us whole again...that's what I have come to know about Him. And he is so faithful to deliver.
It makes me want to worship him even more. It makes me want to repeat Lecrae when he says, "It's evident you run the show, so let me back down. You take the leading role, and I'll play the background." His grace compels me to give even more of my life up to Him because he knows what he's doing! This is what make me want to sing to him with my arms stretched out, giving everything away. His grace makes thankfulness come out of my mouth more often. I see the ways he keeps his promises to a broken people and I praise the God that does that!
So as I listened to this song today, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the desire to know this King. My heart burns just knowing there is an even deeper relationship to be had with him. Intimate. Personal. Incredible. So much more to seek!
I challenge you to just close your eyes, even lay down, and put this song on with your heart open and seeking.
Quirky opening post for the month, but it's what was on my heart. :)
