Grace Notes for Your Christian Life
’’Now therefore, my son, take strength from the grace of God, which is ours in Christ Jesus.’’--2 Timothy 2:1
’’Whether you can take what life dishes out depends on what you take first. If you take from the grace of God the strength offered, you will find yourself quite amazingly able to bear the hardship of life’s bitter battle as a good soldier. But the soldier has to be trained, prepared, and equipped first. Don’t rush into the fray and try to ’take it’ without first taking strength.’’
Take strength from these reminders of the loving sovereignty of the God who has called us his own. Bracing and calming at the same time, The Music of His Promises--fresh thoughts from the pen of Elisabeth Elliot--will soothe your soul and give you strength.
Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary to the Auca Indians of Ecuador in the 1950's when her husband, Jim, was martyred along with four other missionaries. She is best-known for her classic book, Through Gates of Splendor. She is a speaker and best-selling author of many other books, including Passion and Purity and A Chance to Die. Elliot and her husband, Lars Gren, live in Magnolia, Massachusetts.
