world full of grace

The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love;

teach me your statutes!

Psalm 119:64

We live in a world filled by God’s grace. That was the observation in this ancient psalm and it is even more clearly known in Jesus today. God’s faithful, steadfast love has always made Him known to His creation. We see it every day in a multitude of ways. We sense it in the steadily turning seasons. We know it as the world He gave us feeds us, waters us, clothes us, and shelters us. God created what we need to live in His common grace.

And God revealed Himself in the grace of His Word. We can read it and see Him, knowing what it is He desires of us. We can worship the God Who has graciously made Himself clearly known in the pages of His Word. It is a great grace to have so much truth readily at our fingertips when we open a Bible.

And of course, God has given us the greatest grace in the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. And He calls us not just to believe the gospel, but to bring it all over the world. His Church is to flood His grace globally in obeying the command of Jesus to make disciples everywhere we go. The world is full of God’s grace. May we see it, know it, and show it!
