Grace at Work
I had a terrible Christmas last year. The year did not end well, and I was feeling super-stressed and depleted. End-of-year deadlines were met, but I became sick–starting on Christmas Day. It was a summer flu, and I spent a lot of time feeling fatigued and not interested in much. So, where was grace for me?
As a wisdom coach, I knew God could work anywhere, anytime. This helped me to start looking for what His grace might be making possible in my sickness.
I found grace working in three ways: First, it made me stop and draw aside to Him. Inconvenient? For Sure! Was God in it? I now say, "Yes, Yes, Yes!" as He used it to set me up for 2024. Second, He did this by sending a wonderful book my way that I finished and that will change the way I work and live. WOW. And third, He showed me His Spirit is always working even in times like these and I should trust Him.
We are used to thinking of grace in salvation terms as "God’s undeserved favor." It also means Jesus is working through His Spirit in everything and at all times to build us up and to sustain and nourish us until eternity starts. From being super-stressed I went to Super-Wow!
So, I encourage you to look for what God’s loving working (grace) could be making in your life and relationships and work today.

We are used to thinking of grace in salvation terms as "God’s undeserved favor." It also means Jesus is always working through His Spirit in everything. It builds us up, sustains, and nourishes (Grace At Work–Gary Mulquiney). As you follow this seven-day plan, take the time to really look for ways His Spirit is moving and working in your day-to-day life!
