Life comes at us. Sometimes we have no choice but to continue on in the same direction. Other times, there is a fork in the road, or a corner. However, sometimes there isn’t a corner. CAPACITY IS THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE ON THE SAME PATH, IN THE SAME DIRECTION “let us run with patience, the race that is set before us” Hebrews 12:1 “you have need of patience to run the race” Hebrews 10:36 PATIENCE GIVES US CAPACITY It is an internal quality that we develop, so we can deal with the external tribulations/trials that are going to come against us. 1 Peter 4:10 speaks of the MANIFOLD GRACE of GOD “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” 1 Peter 4:10 Grace is more than just God’s unmerited favour! There are many aspects to the grace of God. Manifold means many and varied. Saving grace transforms the heart; however standing grace strengthens the heart. Grace does not change situations! GRACE CHANGES PEOPLE !! Our faith may move mountains; however, grace is the POWER to go over the mountain that cannot be moved & to go through life situations … that cannot be changed. In all and every situation in life, Jesus becomes our Corner. “For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. The Law was given through Moses, TRUTH and GRACE came through Jesus”. John 1:16,17. The Truth about our New Covenant reality and the Grace to live it.
