TODAY’S READING
Ephesians 2:4-10

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
As a child of God, I have a home in God’s grace.

By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God. – Ephesians 2:8 (NRSV)

While on a trip to Lisbon years ago, my wife and I learned a friend at home had passed away. To remember her, we found a nearby church where we could sit and pray. Located at the top of a steep hill, the sanctuary’s name was Igreja da Graca — Church of Grace.

As we left the building we noticed an airplane overhead, so my wife checked an app on her cellphone to see where the plane was coming from and where it was going. A blue circle on the display also told us where we were as it tracked the plane. According to the phone, our location was “Grace.” I experienced this as a personal message from the Lord: Our new address is “grace.”

I must admit that I very often take the grace of God for granted. But the reality is that the grace of God is given to us freely by the death and resurrection of Jesus. As Paul writes in Ephesians 2:12, before Jesus we had “no hope” and were “without God in the world.” Now we have new life in Jesus Christ.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for Christ’s sacrifice and the gift of grace. Help us to embrace this blessing and offer it to others. Amen.
