So I'm breathing in Your grace,
And I'm breathing out Your praise.
Matt Redman
We sang the above song by Matt Redman Sunday, and it's been singing in my heart all week. Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given (John 1:16). Each day is a grace, leaving no room for the trite and pettiness so evident in the world. I can press them down, shake them, but still they run over -- each breath a praise to my God.
Praise for forgiveness, freely given.
Praise for life, abundant and full
Praise for peace, quiet and calm
Praise for joy, overflowing and steady
Praise for blessings, upon blessings, upon blessings.
This grace is undeserved. It's amazing, and constant. It's daily and unending. And it's for you! Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Breathe in God's grace, and exhale with praise. There will always be grace-breaths to inhale. His grace never ends, but it is in the praising that brings sparkle to the grace. Without the praise, when we take grace for granted, it dulls. Take some deep breaths today, and count your graces.
What grace are you breathing in today?

you are precious.
Our pastor is doing a mini-series on 5 verses that talk about thanksgiving. This past week he talked about Philippians 4:6-7. He pointed out the very necessary step of praise in our prayers. Gratitude means a great deal to God, and perhaps nothing makes Him happier than when we praise and thank Him for the inexpressible gift of grace.
The grace I am breathing in today is the assurance that He walks with me in every moment of every day in my life.
GOD BLESS!
What a neat song, Pamela. Thank you.
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
