My thought for today is but for the grace of god. It’s the intervention that shows up when your own power runs out. It’s God acting on your behalf without conditions, without bargaining, without waiting for you to be perfect. If not for God's grace or favor, I would very likely be dead or still dying slowly in some alcohol-induced state. In a meeting I was at last night, I drew attention to an event that happened almost 29 years ago, where a person I barely knew drove a couple hundred kilometers in a snowstorm to save me from freezing to death on the highway. That was most assuredly God acting on my behalf. There have been other instances where I might have died but did not, instances where I received help I didn't earn, protection I didn't deserve and strength I didn't generate. Instances where the grace of God intervened in my life. It is why I continuously give thanks to God.
