Grace, for when you’ve believed the lie
Have you ever had a day where you believed the lie right when your feet hit the floor? Before you’ve had time to yawn and stretch it sinks its teeth in and though you have a choice you dismiss prayer, refuse what you know to be Truth and succumb to its temptation?
That’s how I started the day.
I refused to cast it down. I refused to take the way of escape. I bought the lie.
And then it did as it intended. It grew. And why should I be surprised by the outcome? Sin will take you farther than you want to go. And it has only one ending. Death.
Maybe you’ve found yourself in this same struggle. You make giant leaps in faith, overcoming obstacles you’ve struggled with for years. And then you find yourself stumbling. Leap over a wall then trip over a stick. Or maybe a log.
Humility is a funny thing. Not so much the laughter as medicine kind of funny. It’s one of those things we have to be reminded of. The thing we should never think we’ve gotten down, figured out. When we bask in the glory of the mountaintops we’d do well to remember once we’ve climbed back down that it was His glory. All His.
Humility.
I’m embracing it today and by His grace I’ll go lower. I’ll thank Him over and over again for waking me from the lie, for truth that dissipates it and for grace that never runs dry and far outweighs my ugly sin.
And I’ll let Him take over when I’m all prayed out or the words just aren’t there. I’ll thank Him again for this gift so needed and His precious blood that saved this wretch.
Maybe you feel stuck. Maybe you’ve believed a lie and it’s dug so deep within you that you don’t know how to separate it. I’d like to invite you to grab hold of the Truth of His Word.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ~ Hebrews 4:12
You don’t have to stay there. That mess that you’ve made may seem so great that it might swallow you whole. But it’s not too big for Him. Let the light of His truth shine in and dispel the lies. Bask in the grace that never runs dry. And find once again the joy of His Presence.
We’re in this together. Let’s run this race together, laying aside those heavy weights and the sin that does indeed so easily beset us.
And thank Him for the low places of humility. It’s a beautiful place. Upward glance, and all you see is Him.

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her
ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
off topic but I had to tell someone!
