Living in God’s Grace

God can meet us in the midst of any hardship—no matter how distressing or detrimental it may be.

February 5, 2022

After over 40 years of faithful service, Keith Hurd, the voice of In Touch Ministries, has retired. Please enjoy our new voices as he celebrates the reward of his hard work.

Psalm 42:1-11

When I visited the West Coast, I had the opportunity to do some photography at a spectacular beach. From 75 feet above, I watched huge waves roll in and crash on the rocks below, twisting and breaking, spraying foam into the air. 

While observing this magnificent display, I realized that our lives are very much like those rocks when we’re living in God’s grace. This world can throw some mighty fierce waves at us, but no hardship can overpower God’s provision for enduring it. That’s because His Spirit lives within each believer.  

God has granted us everything we need to emerge triumphant, no matter how intense the pain may be. Our peace and joy originate not in the circumstances of life but in our relationship with Christ. That’s why we can experience contentment even when a tidal surge slams against us. 

What situation is crashing upon you—relational problems, health issues, financial struggles? 

God wants you to live in His grace, rely on His strength, and put your hope in His unfailing love (Ps. 147:11 NIV). If you, on your own, were capable of handling everything that came your way, how would others ever realize that the Lord’s strength is what makes you strong?
