Scripture:

1 Cor. 15:10 The man I am is only by the grace of God; every noble and righteous action is not mine, but is God’s grace working through me. (paraphrased for what I felt like God was speaking to me)

Observation:

Sometimes I feel any testimony I could offer would be dull and unmoving. Though I’ve lived less than a perfect walk with Christ, I have more or less always followed him . I never “hit bottom,” there was not “turning point, there was not an epiphany of need for God. However, I am constantly aware that without God, I would lead a life of self indulgence until it completely destroyed me. When I consider my circumstances – adopted by a genuine pastor, surrounded by mostly Christian friends, married at a young age, and employed by a church – I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has carefully padded my surroundings. Any good I do – any action that does not speak of self indulgence is an incredible testimony to the grace of God.

Prayer:

Thank you Lord for the boundaries in my life.
