2 Timothy 1:9 (NLT) 9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time\u2014to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n

There are many things we could study in this verse today. It contains many spiritual gems, to be sure!<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s focus on one thing in this verse today; God\u2019s grace toward us.<\/p>\n

This verse starts out by reminding us that God has saved us and called us to live a holy life; a life set apart (consecrated).<\/p>\n

And we are also reminded that He didn\u2019t do this because we deserved it or earned it.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, we deserved anything but God saving us.<\/p>\n

But then we are told that God did this as part of His plan since the beginning of time to show us His grace!<\/p>\n

You see, despite ourselves, God chose to save us so we could see His grace in action, not just from a distance, but up close and personal.<\/p>\n

And that, my friends, is truly remarkable; a miracle in plain sight transforming us on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we tend to look far too deeply. We search for miracles elsewhere. We strive to accomplish things in our lives that God never meant for us to try to accomplish.<\/p>\n

We wish our lives away in search of something elusive; something we were never meant to find or attain, thinking that we must achieve or find this thing to prove our faith or to prove God\u2019s existence in our lives.<\/p>\n

But all the while He is right there in our face, trying to show us who He is by His grace and mercy over our lives!<\/p>\n

It is why He chose us and saved us!<\/p>\n

His grace is all over our lives in more ways than we can imagine. We just fail to recognize it because we\u2019re looking elsewhere, for things we were not meant to look for.<\/p>\n

We must learn to recognize His grace in our lives if we are to appreciate it and give Him the honor and glory that is due Him \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n
