THE HAND OF GRACE
Rom 5: 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
“The worse we realize we are, the greater we realize God’s grace is.”
There is a hand reaching down over Heaven’s balcony again today! It is the hand attached to the almighty right arm of our Lord Jesus Christ! O how I love that hand! Times far too many for me to count, I have been rescued by this unfailing hand! A hand that reached into the depths and gross darkness of my sin. A hand that has made a way when there was no way! A hand that has pointed the way when I couldn’t see the way! A hand that grabbed me and snatched me out of the path of certain death! A hand that has held me and comforted me in times of grief and loss! A hand that has corrected me when I was out of hand! A hand that has backhanded the devil when he tried to put his hands on me! A hand reaching into every circumstance! A hand that has always been extended to take my in every situation, even when I have deserved it least! A hand of God’s great grace!
Mel Trotter was a hopeless alcoholic! He was so under the control of alcohol, that he reached inside his daughter’s casket and removed her shoes and sold them for more alcohol. On this same night he stumbled into Pacific Garden Mission and was gripped by the hand of God’s grace! 8 years after his conversion, he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister. With the hand of Grace upon his life, he went on to establish 67 rescue missions across the United States! Where sin had abounded in Mel Trotter, the hand of Grace had literally super abounded to him! That same hand is reaching out to you right now my friend! Reach out and take it, whatever the need may be, you will never be the same! O how I know it’s true!
Every blessing!
