Plenty Of Grace To Go Around

November 14, 2006 11:55 am

I love these words from Psalm 130:7

O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.

I love thinking about “plentiful redemption.” I’ve thought about this verse often in the last few weeks, and I’ve had the recurring thought: This means there is plenty of grace to go around. Whatever situation we find ourselves in, God’s redemptive power can (and does) extend to that situation.

Jesus is in the business of fixing all that sin has broken, so a verse like this should give us faith and hope in the midst of any trial, whether it is sin from outside of us, or sin that we discover in our own hearts.

Got trials? Got sin? Got disappointment? Got relational conflict? Got physical suffering?

There is plentiful redemption in the Lord Jesus Christ. Flee to him, and find that there is plenty of grace to go around.
