God and His grace brings all things to His glory. His grace revolutionizes our lives as we begin to grasp His work in us, despite our difficulties. How quickly I forget His grace or minimize His work behind the scenes. I often work to control an issue or make my own efforts to solve an issue without prayer or Scripture. His grace is what brings us to faith and His grace develops us. He is the Sovereign King and Creator of all things.
“Jesus was born in the city of David, so he was the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises. He is the king who establishes the line of David forever. He is the shoot from the stump of Jesse, as Isaiah tells us, the child born unto us, on whom the government will rest, and to whom nations will bow down. So this means that we can rest in his rule and authority over all things. He is sovereign over our personal circumstances. He rules over nations. He governs the future so our anxiety, stress, frustration, anger, and circumstances in the world around us can be put in his faithful, sovereign hands..” - Barnabas Piper
