What is your grace-o-meter?
Are we as gracious to our persecutors, or the unsaved of this world, as Stephen was? What about other Christians?

Do I show as much grace to others as Jesus shows to me?

Thankful for Jehovah Nissi

“The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance.
Numbers 2:2 NASB1995

Power to Glorify

Apr16

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?”
Jeremiah 32:27 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.32.27.NASB1995

‭All believers have been called. Called through salvation to fulfill the plan of God. The glory in this is that fulfilling God’s plan is not dependent on us. That’s a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. Before you get too excited though, we do have responsibilities beyond our confession of belief in Jesus Christ:

1. Love the Lord your God – Joshua 23:11
2. Seek His kingdom first – Matthew 6:33
3. Surrender your will to God’s will – Matthew 6:10
4. Obey – Acts 5:29
5. Honor – 1 Corinthians 6:20
6. Follow – ‭1 John 2:6
7. Abide in Him – John 15:4

You can participate in the wonders of God and see His glory as He works through His fully devoted servant – YOU!

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.25.NASB1995

And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 13:52 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/act.13.52.NASB1995

‘Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You,
Jeremiah 32:17 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.32.17.NASB1995

Lord God, I surrender. Use me for Your glory!
