A Miraculous Moment, A Startling Realization

Oct 25, 2020    Curt McFarland

We warmly welcome you on this last crisp Sunday in October. Seasons change. Temperatures drop. Holidays approach. COVID, we pray, continues to fade. The love and promises of God remain. From a well-worn but humorous employee evaluation, “Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom … and has started to dig.” The fact that we find ourselves in a desperate state and reach ”rock bottom” does not necessarily mean the only possible direction to go is up. One option is to make rock bottom our new home. Another is to wander the side tunnels. A third is to buy a shovel and dig further. A better option is to take an honest look at the hole we are in and to come to the startling realization that we help from someone far above us. This last option is the essence of the Christian faith. God meets us where we are … at home, work, here at church, when we find ourselves at the bottom … and He provides a way out, up, forward. Here at Grace we are on this journey together!

Blessings!
