Rest and find God’s Grace
Luke 2:40- And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
The verse says that the grace of God was upon Jesus. The Bible also says that where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. (Romans 5:20) And when you put the two together, you may find yourself asking, “If the grace of God was upon Jesus, does it mean that He sinned?”
No, Jesus did not sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21) So there must be another explanation as to why God’s grace was upon Jesus. There must be another explanation as to why someone can abound in God’s grace even when he has not sinned.
Let’s look at the word “grace” when it is first mentioned in the Bible. Genesis 6:8 says that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord”. Noah’s name means “rest”. So the verse is telling us that rest found grace. In other words, when you rest, you find grace!
So grace was upon Jesus because His life was a life of rest and trust in His Father. He said, “The Son can do nothing of Himself. He can do only what He sees His Father doing.” (John 5:19)
Likewise, grace comes upon you when you rest and trust God. If you have a wayward child, stop nagging at him and trust God to handle the problem. Say, “Jesus, I commit this boy into Your hands. I cannot control him. You can.” If you have a persistent pain in your body, bring it to the Lord. Say, “Jesus, I hand all my worries about this pain to You. You work on the pain.”
“Pastor Enoch, what if nothing happens?”
Honestly, if after you have given the matter to Jesus and nothing happens, what can you do? If Jesus Himself can’t do anything about it, do you think you can? But praise God, once the problem is handed over to Jesus, He can and will do a perfect work of taking care of it for you!
So live a life of rest. Have this attitude and tell the Lord, “I can do nothing of myself. I just rest in You Lord and I trust You.” Beloved, what you will see is the grace of God upon you in every situation of your life!

Luke 2:40- And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Just as Jesus experienced growth in various dimensions, so do i. I am encouraged to nurture my spiritual growth, seek wisdom, and be receptive to the grace of God in my life. It’s a reminder that my journey of growth is not only physical but also deeply spiritual, guided by the same grace that was upon Jesus.

More anointing in Jesus name
Jesus experienced so much grace because he trusted God and rested on him.
To enjoy grace, I need to believe that without him I can do nothing. And once I take a matter to him, I need to rest since if Jesus doesn’t do anything about it, there is really nothing I can do but to keep thanking him because he will come true for me. Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus, I put my trust in you, take care of everything pertaining to my life

May God grant us the grace to rely on him daily. Matthew 6:11 – ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ This scripture doesn’t just refer to physical food and the word of God (our spiritual food) but this scripture also refers to healing, miracles, deliverance, peace, joy etc. ‘Daily bread’, refers to everything in which we need to live a triumphant life in Christ Jesus.
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Thank you so much pastor for this devotional. Powerful, insightful and very comforting knowing that, even if when we pray and Hod has not done it yet. All we need to do is carry on trusting and believing that only He can do it. As He makes all things beautiful in His time.

When I put my trust in the Lord, there is a special grace that is released into me. I have experienced this before! We must trust God to do what only God can do ✨. I can do nothing by myself, having the consciousness that God is for me and can do what no man can do, makes the impossible, possible. PRAISE the Lord 🙏🏾. Thank you so much for this devotion Sir ✝️🙏🏾🎆🌻
