"The way to learn to number our days is to count the moments of His grace" – Ann Voscamp.
Numbering our days by counting the moments of God's grace? What a life-changing, paradigm-shifting, amazing concept. It helps us not want to miss a single thing during the day, good or bad!
"Number the beats, record the blessings, enumerate the gifts, see Jesus at the center of it all, and know there is much and it is fleeting and it is in the accounting of a life that we accumulate thanks for anything in life. This way is gone all too soon…”
I think of the moments of grace, and life, I might have already missed by believing that I could be the author and finisher of my life. Mistakenly believing that enough resourcefulness and work could “make life happen” the way I want it to happen.
Life is slippery sometimes. It can be level and safe, or slopped and ice covered. We do our best to pick the terrain and to prepare for the voyage but sometimes we slip and sometimes we get lost.
Thankfully God’s grace is completely sufficient regardless of the path we take and number of times we have to get back up again.
The Apostle Paul offers some wisdom regarding life choices and living victoriously with the aftermath of all those choices… "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," Philippians 4:13 (NIV), and in 2Corinthians 12:2 “For when I am weak, I am made strong (NIV).
Our strength and our direction comes from hearing God, following Jesus, and counting the endless supply of His grace toward us in Christ. It’s all the assurance we’ll ever need. We are in GOOD HANDS!
