He Giveth More Grace
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater;
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase.
To added affliction He addeth his mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure
His power has no boundary known unto men
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving in only begun.
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure
His power has no boundary known unto men
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
No one is immune to the struggles of this world, but fortunately for us, we have the promise that greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4) No matter what we face, what heavy burden we carry, we have the promises of scripture to help us stay the course when we all we want to do is crawl under the covers and hide from the day ahead.
There are many scriptures that I could draw on for times like these, but among my favorite are:
2 Timothy 1:12
... for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
and Philippians 4:19
... But my God shall supply ALL your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
and finally, Philippians 4:6-7, which were also among my Mama's favorite verses,
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
One final thought ... our devotion this week in Wednesday night Bible study was led by one of my favorite ladies ... and she shared some thoughts on service. Two things stood out to me that I feel the need to ponder on and I thought I would share them with you, just in case you might want to ponder them, too.
"Outside of the will of Christ there may be much activity, but there can be no service."
"Service is a state of being, not of doing."
Back to the original topic, here is a video of the Gaithers singing He Giveth More Grace among some other hymns ...

Both comments give us lots to ponder ~ "outside the will of Christ" is a huge area ~ one that the world chooses continuously but for us as Christians, it should be a scary place not an attractive one. Inside the Will of Christ is where we should all desire, strive, achieve to be! Love you friend ~ oh, I can teach you how to cross stitch!
