We try hard to change things, so hard that if they change we take the credit. We just don't see the evidence of Grace when we live in prayerless perfectionism. It is at the same time egotistical and exhausting. God is perfect but not a perfectionist. We see this in scripture, in the frail lives of those who wanted to believe. God opened Sarah’s womb in spite of Abraham fathering Ishmael. God sent Moses to Egypt in spite of his reluctance and Israel’s grumbling, and God delivered them in spite of their fears. God raised up heirs for Jacob in spite of his deviousness. God crowned David with favor in spite of his bloodied hands. God sent prophets to Judah in spite of her stubbornness. God sent His Son to the world in spite of its hatred. So now, in Whose hands is the deliverance of your life and your church? If my life is my hands, I am destroyed. If the church is in my hands, all is lost. Living under grace, is expecting favor in spite of our weakness, in spite of our past sins. Yes, it is about responding to God, but no-one gets it bang on.
