So, having these promises from God.
Beloved.
Let us cleanse ourselves from what controls us, what defiles us.
Perfect holiness in the fear of God. 2 Cor 7:1
It is right to be disconcerted over what bothers us about how we act wrongly.
His Right-Now Grace purifies.
"Holiness should be the object of our constant prayers." Matthew Henry
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Dear Father, Make us a holy people. Our nation mourns tonight. May godly sorrow produce the fruits of righteousness in many. May we have true zeal for what is eternal and what matters there, not here in this world. May we long for You, the Mighty One, more than what we think is right in our own eyes.

One of the sweetest gifts I know--the "right-now Grace" of our Lord. Still learning to live in the present moment, where the Great I Am resides and provides!
ReplyDeleteGrateful for your daily pointings to Him, Bev, and for your dear friendship!
"Right-now Grace" is coined by Paul David Tripp. In this "right now world" in which we live, the jingle surfaces above my muddied waters. Our God has provided for this present moment; this glaring trial; this hovering sadness; this one singular life of ours. Right. Now. Grace.
