Seeking God
"To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, 'Here am I, here am I.'All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations-- ..."Isaiah 65:1-2
Today, Pastor Henry read from Isaiah 64-65 where God is talking about how He revealed Himself but many did not see Him. We read how all of us are so filthy and unrighteous that we can't approach God, and our only hope is through faith in Jesus who restores us to Him. If we look through the eyes of this faith, we see God's grace all around us.
Where do you see God at work around you, holding out His hands? I think His grace has been very evident to me in our church family. It has been so good to hear the stories of those who have had opportunities to share the gospel, of those who have seen miracles, and of those who have felt His support through the church. I too have felt this support as we continue to strive to walk in His way.

I wear a bracelet that says "Grace Happens." It calls me to attention when I hear the charm make a little ring as it shifts on the bracelet. It calls me to awareness of God's gifts all around me-new appreciation of Christ's sacrifice this Easter, seeing Grace in people around me, reading Grace promises in his Word, seeing and experiencing the Grace of healing and the Grace of God accepted and embraced by others, some for the first time this year.
That sounds like a cool bracelet!
