As we continue our week on becoming poor in spirit, today we’ll explore the concept of living a lifestyle of grace. Many of us struggle with pride and self-sufficiency. But those things are in stark opposition to what it means to live poor in spirit. When we choose the road of humility, we open ourselves up to a life dependent on God’s grace to sustain us, a life fueled by God’s power rather than our own. It is my hope today that we can learn to embrace our weakness, that God may be made strong in us. Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9, and today's worship is Grace to Grace by Hillsong Worship. -- From now until August 26th we are offering a bundle of two printed First15 devotionals: Grace + Grow for your donation of $40 or more.    With the Grace + Grow Bundle you can: Grow in your connection to the vine, and experience the transformation that comes from a life lived with God!
