 END OF THE YEAR

Today's reading: Revelation 22

"The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all." Revelation 22:21 NLT

The end of the year and the end of the Book.

A good time to pause and reflect.

A better time to plan, prepare for and anticipate.

And what better word to end, and begin, with than GRACE.

How does one explain grace?

I cannot think of a better description of it than that Max Lucado offers...

'Grace is simply another word for God's tumbling, rumbling reservoir of strength and protection. It comes at us not occasionally or miserly but constantly and aggressively, wave upon wave. We've barely regained our balance from one breaker, and then, bam, here comes another.'

Isn't that just how you have received it? Wave upon wave. When you are just catching your breath from one God-overwhelming dousing of grace--then He does it again!

That's what we should see as we look back over this past year, and it's what we should be giddy with excitement to know is in store for us in 2024!
