Total Reliance on the Grace of God

Just a quick thought...I'll slowly get back into writing someday :-)

Remember that "we are wholly dependent on the sovereign grace of God. There is only one key to successful ministry, and it is in God's hands. In the light of sovereign grace, we work, we pray, and we do not lose heart." -Total Church by T. Chester

Psalm 127

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.

Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil;

For he gives to his beloved sleep.

It can be frustrating at times in ministry, relationships, and personal growth when there is little or no results; but we are at the mercy of God and must trust in his will and sovereignty. It is by grace that anything is accomplished or changed. I'm clinging to this week and praying that God helps me to fully grasp this concept.
