Day 26 - Unnerved

I hear it all the time. 
Heck, I say it all the time. 
How amazing grace is, and I hear it all the time. 
Heck, I say it all the time. 
How amazing grace is, and how much we don't deserve it.*

I know this; it's imprinted on my heart and mind. 
Yet today, I was unnerved by grace. 

I did nothing, but I got everything I wanted.
"I didn't work for this, Lord." I wailed. 
"You didn't work for salvation either." the Lord reminded me. 
As much as I wanted to argue that there was a difference, I couldn't. Because there isn't. 

If our lot in life and beyond were determined by what we deserved, there would not be a lot to determine. 

Today was great. Exceptionally great. Unnervingly so. And I had nothing to do with it.
I still don't know how to handle it. 
But I hear the Lord telling me: "Just because Ronke is not in control does not mean that God isn't." 

Don't be like me. The next time something exceptional happens to you, don't hesitate to give glory to God, to Whom glory is due. 

*See what Jesus did there...😉. Can't take credit for this one. It was all Jesus.
