Unearned Blessings

Opening Verse

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19, KJV)

 

Introduction

In life, we often stumble, mishandle what we have, or find ourselves undeserving. Yet, in His boundless grace, Jesus continues to provide for us, teaching us about His unwavering love and mercy.

 

Devotional Story

Imagine a man named Tom, who was careless with his money and often made poor decisions. Despite his irresponsibility, there came a point where he found himself in dire need, facing the possibility of losing his home. Ashamed and out of options, Tom turned to prayer, seeking forgiveness and help. Miraculously, even though he didn’t deserve it, help came in unexpected ways: a friend offered him a job, and a family member lent him money to cover his immediate debts. These acts of kindness were not mere coincidences; they were manifestations of Jesus’ provision, showing that His grace covers us even in our most undeserving moments.

What This Means

This story is a powerful testament to the fact that Jesus’ provision is not based on our merits or actions. His love and care for us are constant, offering us grace and support even when we falter or fail.

Think About This

Reflect on times when you received help or blessings you knew you didn’t earn. How did these experiences affect your understanding of Jesus’ love and provision?

 

Prayer

Dear Lord, thank You for Your endless grace and provision, even when we are undeserving. Help us to remember Your past faithfulness as a promise for the future, and to trust in Your unchanging love. Amen.

 

Closing Verse

 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?” (Matthew 6:25, KJV)
