River of Life - Part 3

This is the conclusion of the snapshot of grace from the Old Testament. Please read the last two days first.

Sometimes we think that what we are doing is too insignificant to make any difference. Remember the stream as it flowed out from under the door of the Temple. No one would have believed that it would change the Dead Sea and bring it to life. No act of grace is too small.

We also need to recognize the grace that is shown to us not only by God but by others as well. The grace that is shown to us by others is not the same as the grace that is shown us by God in that He gives us grace through His Son Jesus Christ. However, we often miss out because we don’t acknowledge the grace of God or others in our lives. God’s grace can come to us in many unexpected ways. We need to develop the habit of looking for that grace.

As the river grew so are we to grow. Paul told us to grow in grace. Let us be like the river of life and grow in grace.
