“We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom.” (2 Corinthians 1:12 NLT)
If I were to make a pie chart on the resources I go to on any given day, what would it look like? Do I rely mostly on human wisdom, relationships, health, wealth, abilities, etc.? Or do I depend exclusively on the grace of God?
God’s grace is like a deep well filled with pure water. Prayer is the action by which we lower the bucket, wait for it to fill, and pull up what we need. Time and effort are involved. While it may be tempting to dip our cup in muddy puddles that are easily accessible, this is not advisable. Go straight to God. Lower your empty bucket. Draw from His abundant grace. Nothing else is sustainable.
