Daily Devotional for May 20
“You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” – Romans 6:18 (NIV)
God’s Grace in Action
If you want victory over something in your life, be prepared to work at it.
However, it’s not merely about depending on yourself or achieving success through sheer determination. God’s grace is the key to overcoming obstacles and living a life that honors Him.
But remember, grace doesn’t mean your human effort gets a free ride while you lie down and sleep.
God provides opportunities, chances, and favorable moments for you to act. Don’t miss these opportunities; don’t miss the moments when His grace is ready to work in your life.
You are made for good works, designed to be a servant of righteousness. God built you to take responsibility and accomplish all He gives you to do.
Living in Righteousness
Through God’s grace, you are set free from the bondage of sin so that you can conform to His divine will in thought, purpose, and action. “You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” (Romans 6:18)
This means you have the power to overcome sin and live a life of righteousness. You are no longer a slave to sinful desires but a servant of God’s will. Embracing this identity is crucial for experiencing the fullness of God’s grace in action.
Victory is achieved through God’s grace but requires active participation. You must choose to trust Him every step of the way. When you rely on His strength and guidance, you will find the power to overcome any challenge.
Trusting God Every Step
Trusting God involves recognizing His grace at work in your life. It means leaning on His strength rather than your own. When you face difficulties, remember that God’s grace is sufficient for you. He will provide the wisdom, courage, and perseverance needed to succeed.
As you go about your day, look for the opportunities God places before you. These are moments where His grace can be most evident in your life.
By stepping out in faith and relying on His provision, you allow God’s grace to transform your circumstances and lead you to victory.
