Simon commented and asked me not to forget Dependence. Wonderful reminder! Thank God for desperation for it drives us to turn to Him. Sometimes I worry and think about too many things and lose the joy in God because I forget to depend on Him.
And it's not just my studies, it's more than that. It's seeking sufficiency from Him in advancing first and foremost the glory of His kingdom.
The song below is very meaningful and I think besides being a reminder that God's grace is sufficient for us to meet our daily needs, it also causes us to think of the reasons why we seek God's grace. Not just to meet the needs of self, but to glory God's name in reaching out to others.
Grace Alone
Every promise we can make
Every prayer and step of faith
Every difference we will make
Is only by His grace
Every mountain we will climb
Every ray of hope we shine
Every blessing left behind
Is only by His grace
Grace alone which God supplies
Strength unknown He will provide
Christ in us our cornerstone
We will go forth in grace alone
Every soul we long to reach
Every heart we hope to teach
Everywhere we share His peace
It's only by His grace
Every loving word we say
Every tear we wipe away
Every sorrow turned to praise
It's only by His grace
