Works of God:In Christ Alone

Today in Church we had a service focussing on the Power and Grace of God. IT is because of his grace that we can truly say:

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

We sang this song and this week maybe more than other weeks it has more meaning to me. I have definatly over the past couple of years had to come to the place where I realize this. I am so thankful that I can stand strong in Him. There has been so many times over this past couple of years that I was to the end of the rope about to fall off but Christ came in and lifted me up. He has so many times brought me back into His care. The thing I love about God is that, even though he is omnipotent, whenever I wonder from Him and then come back to Him He doesnt get farther away from me. He excepts me with open arms.

So why do I never cling to Him? I guess its because I am a human that doesnt understand the true power and grace of Christ.

Dear God,
Never let me wonder from your care. Remind me that your grace is suffient and that I dont need anything in this world. May your prescense dominate my life.
