GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | A CUT ABOVE

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) Psalm 46:10 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.”

3. Thoughts

a) The word holy means "to separate." The ancestry of the term can be traced back to an ancient word which means "to cut." To be holy, then, is to be a cut above norm, superior, extraordinary... The Holy One dwells on a different level from the rest of us. What frightens us does not frighten Him. What troubles us does not trouble Him.

b) We are more a landlubber than a sailor, but we've puttered around in a bass boat enough to know the secret for finding land in a storm... You don't aim at another boat. You certainly don't stare at the waves. You set your sights on an object unaffected by the wind - a light on the shore - and go straight toward it...

c) When you set your sights on our God, you focus on one "a cut above" any storm life may bring... You find peace.
