Monthly Devotion: The Grace That Carries Me Through - February 2025
Passage:
1 Corinthians 15:10
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.”
Devotion:
As I reflect on the things that have gone through in my life—the victories and failures, the seemingly impossible that happened—I realized that it was not my strength but the grace of God that carried me through. This quote perfectly describes where I am now: “I still have a long way to go but I'm already so far from where I used to be.”
This also led me to God's Word in 1 Corinthians 15:10, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.”
I cannot take credit for any of these things because I know how weak I can be. There are moments when I am filled with doubt. Oftentimes I limit myself and what God can do through me, and I would just end up crying—feeling so down and hopeless. But despite all these emotional struggles, Jesus always rescues me. Jesus always saves me and He always saves the day.
Life may take us to many different directions, but it’s the grace of God that will keep us going and on track. In all of life’s challenges, let's have full confidence in God's grace. May we always find grace and discover what the Lord has in store for us. Whenever things get tough, let's be gentle on ourselves because He is gentle toward us. It is by His grace that He will carry us through.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being the Father who cares for us and loves us so much that You only want what is best for us. Lord, thank You for showering us with the grace that keeps us on going. May we always seek You—nothing else—for strength and protection. Cover us from the worries of the day. As we face life’s challenges, we pray that You will keep us grounded in Your presence. Help us find patience and rest as we trust in Your loving care. In Jesus' name we pray and give thanks, amen.
