People work for their wages and most often do not get satisfied with what they receive after toiling very hard. But there is fulfilment and satisfaction when God's grace embraces us. Anyone is privileged to receive His grace. One singer says "Mercy rewrote my life". I am grateful to God that indeed, I am one such person whom God completely rewrote her life. I believe God's Word when He says: "My grace is sufficient for you". Why then should we worry about all that is happening around us if we understand that only God's grace can see us through all the trials and tribulations of this world. Isn't that Jesus Christ says: "I have overcome the world". Let us all be at peace as we trust in His unfailing love and grace. No wages can ever give us the satisfaction we need but only His grace. Grace is God's unmerited favor upon all people. We were once sinners and God sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not die but have an everlasting life. We did not have to work to receive the gift of salvation. It was freely given to those who believed. On the other hand, wages are paid to only those who have worked. Surely, I did not work for my salvation but God's grace did it all for me.

When we read the Book of Exodus, we see how the Israelites over and over turned against God. How they forgot the good and precious things God did for them. But God still remained faithful and kept His promises that He made to their forefathers. In Exodus 32 we read about the Israelites asking Aaron to make a gold calf that they will worship. Did God remove Aaron to be the Priest? Not at all. Despite Aaron disobeying God, He still allowed him to serve His people. God is forever patient with us. How many times have we disobeyed Him but He kept His promises because He is just, faithful and forever gracious and merciful. His Word says" He who has promised, is faithful". Let us not take His grace for granted by sinning but note that He will forever be our Heavenly Father.
