-One Hundred And Seven- Grace Finishes The Job!

Grace Finishes the Job!

Today’s Reading: Matthew 14:10-21

Focal Verse: Matthew 14:16a

But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away.”

Lord, I know You must have wanted to spend some time by Yourself.  You loved John and it must have saddened You to see Your servant suffer.
You could have taken some time off.  Nobody would have blamed You.  But You looked out at all those people…compassionately You set out to complete the work Your Father had given You to do.
You had the prime opportunity to send them away and give Yourself a break.  They needed food and it was reasonable to expect them to go get some.
But…all those people.  You couldn’t send them away.  They needed You.  They were the reason You were there.  So You provided.
Lord, thank You for finishing the job.  Thank You for giving up Your rights so that You could shower Your love on undeserving people.
You are Grace, and You finished the job.

God has given us each a job to do.  Sometimes that involves giving up our “rights”.  Are you finishing the job God has given you to do?
