God's Grace Is Overflowing Favour

                                       2 Corinthians 6:1
                    "We... beseech you that ye receive not 

                                 The grace of God in vain."
  

          The grace you had yesterday will not do for today.  Grace is the overflowing favour of God; you can always reckon it is there to draw upon.  "In much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses"; that is were the test for patience comes.  Are you failing the grace of God there?  Are you saying;  "Oh well, I won't count this?"  It is not a question of praying and asking God to help you; it is taking the grace of God now.

         We make prayer the preparation for work, it is never that in the Bible.  Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.  Don't say;  I will endure this until I can get away and pray.  Pray now; draw on the grace of God in the moment of need.  Prayer is the most practical thing, it is not the reflex action of devotion.  Prayer is the last thing in which we learn to draw on God's grace.

         "In stripes, in imprisonments, in labors"  in all these things manifest a drawing upon the grace of God that will make you a marvel to yourself and to others.  Draw now!  The one word in the spiritual vocabulary is "now."  Let circumstances bring you where they will, keep drawing on the grace of God in every conceivable condition you may be in.  One of the greatest proofs that you are drawing on the grace of God is that you can be humiliated without manifesting the slightest trace of anything but His grace.

        "Having nothing...."  Never reserve anything. Pour out the best you have.  Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives.    Amen!!!
