I read a quote that resonated deeply: "No matter how hard we worked to get it, it was still God who let us have it." It's a sobering reminder that despite our best efforts, our achievements aren't purely our own. We can grind, hustle, and push ourselves to the limit, but it’s not just our work that brings success—it's God’s grace.
John 3:27 says, A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.” This verse underscores the reality that everything we achieve is ultimately a gift from God. Our hard work matters, but it’s God’s sovereignty that makes the difference. It’s easy to forget that in our pursuit of success, but no amount of effort can outdo God’s plan for our lives.
So, the next time you celebrate a victory or achieve a milestone, remember: It wasn’t just the grind, it was grace. It wasn’t just your effort, but God’s favor that allowed it to happen.
Reflection Question: What are you working towards right now, and how can you recognize God’s grace in your efforts?
Verse of the Day: James 1:17 - "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
Song of the Day: Great Is Thy Faithfulness
