Grace stored up for you

Key Passage: 2 Corinthians 8:9
Speaker: Paul Chisgar
Date: March 23, 2024
The Lord. Never get too old for that. That’s just awesome. And I appreciate it, very, very much. Turn your Bibles, if you would, to 2nd Corinthians chapter number 8, 2nd Corinthians chapter number 8 in God’s Word. And if you’ve been here for a while, you may have to forgive me. I hope I don’t preach on this subject too often.
It’s my favorite subject. It’s on the subject of grace. And I love that subject. It’s my favorite. And these verses are some of my favorite verses. The second verse we read is my favorite verse right now. But you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve probably heard me preach on this line. I love the subject. And the title: Grace stored up for you. That’s the title of it. Grace stored up for you.
But 2 Corinthians chapter number 8, verse number 9. Second Corinthians 8 and verse number 9. Would you please stand as to read God’s Word together tonight? I’m so glad everyone’s here. I thought about Brother Jacob. He, of course, busy with things. He’s got to get up and go to work around midnight tonight. And he said, told me this morning, he said, “I don’t think I’ll be able to make it. I got to be at midnight with work, everything.” And he’s here tonight. And, man, I’m glad you’re here. He said, “I can’t miss the word. I got to be here for the word.” I love that desire. That’s great. And praise the Lord for it. But because of that, we’ll read the verses. We’ll pray and we’ll be dismissed, all right? No, no. Second. Somebody said amen on that, you know.
Second Corinthians 8 and verse number 9: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich, yet for your sakes, he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”
Now look at the next chapter. It’s interesting. That one’s 8:9. And I look at 9:8, chapter number 9, verse number 8. By the way, the context there is about finances. I’ll tell you what, we’ll just start in verse number 6 because we’re about to have this big offering. It would be good for us to read that. But you’ll notice in verse number 8 it includes everything in it. And we’ll get to it just a second. But 2 Corinthians 9, look at verse number 6:
“But this I say, he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly. And he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as it purposeth in his heart. So let him give. Not grudgingly or of necessity. For God loveth a cheerful giver.”
Now there’s a period there, conclusion of a thought. But then the first word of the next verse includes, it brings them together, and, and God, okay? But you also notice in that verse how God includes everything, not just finances. You’ll notice with several different words: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work.”
That’s just an amazing verse. Would you read it with me and just think about the words? Would you do that? “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work.” And would you pray with me? Just ask God to help us to grasp a little bit more of what it’s saying of grace and for us to live in faith and not in fear because of this grace.
Lord, we come. Lord, it seemed like, oh, several years back you really spoke to me about grace. I never really understood it like awe. And you just taught me and let me grasp it a little bit. Thank you for that. Lord, would you help more of us to grasp this thing of grace? And then, Lord, I pray that you would help us to live in faith, not in fear. Forgive me, so often, Lord, I live in fear about things. Lord, help us to grow beyond that and realize you have stored up every grace we’ll ever need. And so help us to live by faith because of that. Lord, well, thank you for what you do. Lord, make it real and fresh to your people. And we’ll thank you for it, Lord. Father, we’re asking for that in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Thank you so much for standing. You may be seated.
Joseph, the Old Testament Joseph, is a wonderful picture, the type, if you will, of Jesus Christ. Joseph was especially loved by his father. You remember that? His father made him the coat of many colors. He loved him. Of course, Jesus is loved by the Father. Joseph was sent to his brethren. Remember they were over there and ended up being down in Dothan, and Joseph was sitting down there to check on his brother and by his father. And Jesus was sent to a foreign country. Of course, that’s what Christmas is all about. And praise the Lord for that. He came to a foreign country to check on us, if you will, mankind, sent by the Father to purchase our salvation and so on.
Joseph was hated by his brethren. Jesus came to his own, and his own received him not. In fact, particularly the Jewish people, not every particular one, but as a whole they rejected Jesus. He was hated by his brethren. Joseph had a coat of many colors. Jesus had a seamless coat, very valuable. Remember at the crucifixion, the cross, the soldiers were going to tear it up and split it. They said, “No, no, it’s too valuable. We’ll cast lots.” They gambled over Jesus’ seamless coat. Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver. Jesus was sold for 30 pieces of silver, remember, by Judas. So many similarities.
Joseph was lied about by Potiphar’s wife. Jesus was lied about by many people, falsely accused. Joseph was tortured in jail. Psalm 105, I believe it, talks about how his feet bear the marks of the fetters and whatnot. Jesus, of course, was tortured during the crucifixion of the cross. Each became a blessing among the Gentiles: Joseph in Egypt, of course, Jesus here in this world, and the Romans were the ones actually the hands that crucified him. Joseph reconciled his brethren to himself and afterward exalted them. I’m glad Christ reconciles us to himself and to the Father. He’ll exalt us in heaven one day. There are so many similarities.
Joseph was humble and then exalted. He was humbled, excuse me, and then exalted. Christ humbled himself, became obedient to the cross. And yet one day he’ll be exalted. Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, even to the glory of God by the Father.
But here’s the thing that won’t you just get. This has been so helpful for me over the years. You remember the dream that Pharaoh had: seven bad years—excuse me, I’m sorry—seven good years and then the seven bad years. You remember what Joseph did? He stored up all those silos and storage bins of grain for seven years because the seven bad years were about to come.
Now here’s the thing: Christ, when he came down and he shed his blood on the cross, Christ was storing up all the grace you ever will need for the seven lean years, if you will, for every moment of your life, every trial of your life, everything you ever go through, every good work God wants you to do. Christ is storing up the grace that you need to perform that—all the grace you need, all of it. Christ was storing it up.
That’s what that first verse we read talks about: that he through his poverty might be rich. That’s why the Bible says, “Hey, you can abound to every good work because Christ has stored up the grace you need to be the Christian he wants you to be.” Now, he’s stored up the grace for you to be saved. Praise the Lord.
RJ this morning, if you will, he went over to one of those silos of grace, and Jesus had stored up all the grace that RJ needed to get saved. And RJ just simply went by faith and asked for it. And Christ said, “Man, I purchased it for you on the cross of Calvary a long time ago.” And RJ just received it. And it’s his forever.
There was a preacher asked a little 10-year-old girl, and he asked the girl and said, “Are you a Christian?” And she said, “I don’t know.” And he said, “Are you saved?” And she said, “I don’t know.” The preacher said, “How do you get saved?” She said, “Well, I think by being good.” And the preacher said, “Well, how good do you have to be?” And she said, “You got to be awfully good to go to heaven.” And he said, “Well, how awfully good do you have to be?” And the little 10-year-old girl said, “Awfully, awfully good.” And the preacher said, “Well, are you that good?” And she said, “Well, no.” And the preacher said, “Well, I guess then that you’re not saved.”
And the girl kind of looked down. And the preacher said, “Hey, I’m not that good either.” And the little 10-year-old girl’s eyes got real big. “Wow, you’re not that good either?” And the preacher said, “If anybody goes to heaven, it’s not by being good enough, it’s by grace. For by grace are ye saved through faith.” It’s all the grace that Jesus stored up.
Jesus has stored up in the store bins, the silos, enough grace, actually, for everybody in the world to be saved. Don’t believe the predestination people that say, “Well, they just died for a select few.” No, no, no. The Bible says, “For the sins of the whole world” in 1 John 2:2, it says. Everybody, He’s got the grace available for anyone to be saved. And He’s stored it up. Yeah, not only for salvation, but for you to grow.
You know the verse over in Peter, 2 Peter 3:18: “But grow in, what is it? Grace,” that’s how you grow, “in the knowledge of our Lord and your Savior, Jesus Christ. Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.” That way we don’t get the glory; He gets the glory. But here’s the thing: sometimes we don’t grow because we think we kind of pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Friend, you won’t grow like that. A lot of Christians are just kind of stuck at one level. They can’t get to the next level because they’re depending on what all they do to get them there. Friend, you grow in grace. That’s why Paul said, “I am what I am by the grace of God.” Now, God has a grace available for you to get to the next level.
I don’t know what the next level is for you, but He has the grace. And when I learn to live depending on His grace that Jesus stored up, that’s when God, He can take it to another level. By the way, we never make ourselves grow. You can’t make yourself grow.
I used to have a garden. I had a garden for years. And then Brother Frank, he had a better garden, and he would give me fruit from it, and he did all the work. So I said, “Praise the Lord for that.” And then Brother Frank doesn’t have a garden anymore. What’s going on there, you know? He started getting from David Jones’ garden. This thing’s popping. I don’t know why. But look, hey, man, you can plow that garden up. I used to have an old tiller. It had an old muffler on it. The muffler kind of came back, blew all the fumes on you. Praise the Lord, John lived at home. I made him plow off that garden, you know. He didn’t have a whole lot of brains because he’s my son. But any brains he had, they got ruined by that muffler coming right back at you, you know. He’d plow that thing up, or we would plow it up, and do everything, you know, get everything just right, put that line—you’ve got to have straight rows, you know—and you put that seed in there.
A time or two, my wife and the kids—okay, my wife would make the kids and her—we have those natural fertilizers behind our house called horses. Yeah, and they used to have a wagon the kids did. Yeah, my wife would make them use that wagon for wonderful things. Some of your older folk know what I’m talking about there, you know? And we’d get that, we’d plow that in the ground and all that. And we’d plant that seed and we’d water and all that. But we never made it grow. You can’t make anything grow.
And even in the Christian life, you can’t make yourself grow. But when you say, “Hey, Lord, I want to grow in grace,” and I’m not going to depend on me to grow and become the Christian, and Jesus, I believe you have all the grace I need to grow. And He does. And He can help you get to the next level, baptism and then growing in knowledge and being used by God more and all the different levels that it takes you through, different for everyone in some manners. But all those stages of growth, God’s grace—He died and He stored up the grace for you to grow.
I look at Michael back there. How old are you, Michael? He’s 12 years old. God’s got a plan for Michael. I don’t know what all it is, but God’s got somewhere He’d like Michael to be one day. I know it be a godly man. I know it being a good church member, maybe a Sunday school teacher, maybe a bus driver, maybe a preacher, maybe a missionary. I don’t know. But God’s got a plan for Michael to be there one day. And all the stages of growth are for Michael to get there, Jesus has purchased the grace Michael needs to get there. For all of us.
Some people, some people just never get to the next base and it seems like they’re just been here 20,000 times. Can’t get past that. And so often because we’re relying on ourselves. But growing in grace—Jesus has stored up the grace so you can abound to every good work. Can I tell you two keys? Two ways. It’s like in our house. I’ve got it. I’m going to tell them myself here. We… Tammy flew down to Florida Tuesday during the daytime, $51 a ticket, amen. And flew down to Florida, spent a little extra time with Sarah. Then Tuesday night after church, me, John McKinnon, and Ryan loaded up the car and drove down to Florida. And I remembered, you know, you don’t want to carry keys around with you everywhere that you’re not going to use. I’d put them in the center console of the car. And I said, “Now, Paul, don’t forget to get those.” I mean, because here’s the thing: so Friday afternoon, me and Tammy flew up. $51, amen. That sound like a good deal, instead of riding 12 hours in the car, you know? And Tammy, so, you know, we didn’t have any baggage. We flew Spirit. You can’t—you know, it’s not too baggage is free. You got to pay for that. So we just had carry-ons. Well, I forgot. Left the keys in the center console of the car. And Tammy, she had her little backpack going to carry on for free, you know. She didn’t want to bring her purse because sometimes they count that, and her keys were in her purse. And when you leave on trips, we not only not locked the doorknob, but we deadbolted the deadbolt. You know, the deadbolt, we locked that. And, yeah, oh, yeah. And we were so embarrassed. Brother Anthony was so kind to pick us up at the airport, but I didn’t want to tell Brother Anthony. Me and Tammy were both praying, “Lord, help us get in that crazy house.” Brother Anthony dropped us off. We were acting like we were walking the front door. Tammy said, “I’ll check the mail,” so I won’t see. She wouldn’t check the mail because we were embarrassed. We were praying we’d get in there, you know. And so if you go to our house, you’ll see one window broken out. No, you all. Praise the Lord, you don’t. And I’m not going to tell you how we broke in our house because I don’t want you to break in my house. All right now, the Lord answered prayer, we got in that crazy thing, you know. But if we just do the doorknob, I’m telling everybody, we just do the doorknob, it’s very easy. I mean, you get in there pretty easy. I shouldn’t tell that part, you know, but the two locks. And we had them both locked.
And really, for you to have access to the grace, two things are needed. First one: humility. Twice the Bible said, “God resisteth the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.” I hope RJ doesn’t mention it, but RJ had to humble himself a little bit. I said, “Man, I need to get saved.” That little 10-year-old girl had to humble herself. “I can’t save myself. I’ll never be good enough. It’s Jesus that saves me.” Humility. It’s grace.
And then look over in Romans 5, just very briefly, Romans 5, about getting grace. I’m just going to be getting grace. I just gave it away. The other key: one key is humility. Then the other one is faith. Romans 5, verse number one: “Therefore being justified by faith,” verse 1 told about your salvation, “we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Now notice verse number two: “by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” You see, when I got saved, I was placed in the field of grace, and I’m standing in that grace, but I have access to that grace by faith. And I must say, “Hey, I believe you have the grace that I need to grow.” Just like by faith you receive Christ, you call on Christ, you get that grace at salvation, that’s the same way you’re growing in grace. Humility and you say, “You know, I believe God has the grace that I need to be the soul and raw to be…”
“I believe God has your grace I need to be the wife, the husband.” You say, “Preacher, be the wife, the husband to that man, to that lady?” Yeah. He knew who you’d be married to. You heard about the fellow he was—he was in church and the devil just came in there and the devil was roaring at people, and people just flying out of that church, I mean flying out the front door, side door. They made a couple new doors. I mean, the devil was there, man. People just leaving, just running. And this one older man just stayed right there, didn’t flinch. The devil went right to him, right in his face. The fellow didn’t flinch one bit. Man, the devil said, “What in the world? How are you able to stand like that?” And that old man said, “Huh, you’re nothing, man. I’ve been married to your sister for 40 years.” Now, of course, I’m joking. But I’m saying God knows everything about your life. All the things you say nobody knows, but I’m going through. Christ knew about it when he died on the cross that he stored up the grace you need—all of it. And for you to grow and be the man, the lady God wants you to be, He’s got it all stored up.
Can I say this? How foolish we are when we try to serve Him in our own strength. A little bit of pride there. By the way, you get proud, what’s going to happen? You’re going to fall. I remember hearing a good preacher, a good man. I love him. He’s a good man. He really is. But as a preacher’s meeting, oh, several years ago, Brother Anthony was there—you probably know who I’m talking about—but he said, “You know, I’ve tried to serve God in my own strength for years.” And he said, “I’ve ruined my health.” Friend, He’s got the grace you need, and you get there by humility and by faith. By the way, we serve Him by grace. That’s why when we get to heaven, one of the reasons why we get to heaven, we won’t go up to heaven, “Boy, look at all these rewards that I got.” No, we’ll lay our crowns at His feet because you realize I had the power to serve Him by His grace that He earned on the cross of Calvary. We owe everything to it. But He’s got what you need—your finances, your every area for you to grow and reach the next level. He’s got it all. We don’t have to live in fear. “Can I be the Christian God wants me to be? Can I be the church member I need to be? Can I make a difference in my workplace?” Whatever. You don’t have to live in fear. God’s got the grace available. And I can go in faith. I can serve by faith. The Bible speaks to that.
Then let me say this, and I’m done for the night: Jesus has stored up the grace you need for your hardest—the hardest moment of your life. He’s got it stored up. You know the story: Paul went to the Lord, “Hey, you got to remove this thorn in the flesh.” God said, “No, no, no, no. My grace is sufficient for me. My strength is made perfect in weakness.” For the toughest time in your life, I have watched with amazement as Brother Glenn has been such a great testimony. And I’ve watched with amazement—and I hope I don’t say too much—but his wife for 53 years, and they love Ms. Ruth. And yet, and even so tough, he wasn’t able to be with her when she was in the rehabilitation center. And you think, “Well, just can’t get any worse than that. How in the world can he do it?” Because God had the grace available. And praise the Lord for a man that was humble enough and lived by faith enough just to say, “Well, I’ll go make it.” You don’t go through those times on your own strength.
But you say, “Man, I have fear of something like that would have happened to me. What would I do, preacher?” I’ll tell you this: Jesus, He knew, just like Joseph through the revelation, the dream of Pharaoh, Joseph knew the seven lean years were coming. Christ knew those lean times in our life were coming, and He stored up. And He’s got the grace for you. And He’s got the grace for everything you go through. He’s got it stored up.
Satan loves for us to live in fear. He’s all about us living in fear. That’s why he’s a roaring lion. He’s not just a lion; he’s a roaring lion. They say—and you’ve heard me tell this story this morning—I read the verse about the young lions, and I didn’t mention it. But they even say some, a missionary speaking of that was in Africa. He said it’s very interesting. He said, often there’ll be a herd of antelope or something there, zebras, whatever. And he said often the old lions were just too old to really move quickly and catch you. So they’ll go on one side. And then the young lions that are strong and agile, they’ll go over the other side. And he said those old lions will roar. Their teeth are falling out. Our littlest dog is 13. We were talking the other day, and she had a tooth fall out the other day. And she can still growl and act tough, but she really can’t do much anymore. And Christ knocked the devil’s teeth out on the cross. He made a show of Him, triumphant over him, in it, you know. But Satan roars.
Here’s the mistake of the zebras. One of those zebras or an antelope or whatever it is—Brother Stout just shot him. It was an antelope, just with a bow, just shot him, an antelope. He did it over here on Becker Street. No, I’m joking. He went to Kansas or where, I don’t know. Nebraska did it. But anyway. So the zebras, the antelope, the mistake is when they hear the roaring, they run from it. And they run right into the young lions.
The Bible says—we read it this morning, I’m going back to this morning—even the young lions, they’ll suffer, they’ll be hungry. See, but those that seek the Lord. But anyway, here’s the thing: Satan, he’s always roaring, trying to get you to live in fear. That’s what it’s all about: fear. He works in fear. He works in fear. If he can get you to live in fear, well, what if this happens? And he’s got little triggers. He’s got little things that they put in your life trying to get you to live in fear. Well, what about this decision I’ve got to make? What about my finances? And what if this makes me look bad to everybody? All the different things. He’s always trying to get you to live in fear. Friend, you don’t have to live in fear. You don’t have to run when the devil roars. Christ has stored up the grace for the toughest moments you’ll ever face. Christ has got it stored up what you need for that moment. Got it all stored up. And Satan’s going to roar and he’s trying to get you living in fear.
“No, no, I’m not going to live in fear. I’m going to live in faith because Jesus has got the grace stored up I need, no matter what it is.” He’s always got the grace available. Satan’s always trying to get you to live in fear. “No, no, I’m not going to live in fear. I’ll live in fear, I’ll never become the Christian God wants me to become.” You don’t have to live in fear. God’s got the grace for you to grow. Every area of your life, He’s got the grace.
When I learned to live in faith of the grace that’s available, you heard about the two preachers on the plane and there’s some turbulence and problems. One preacher was just afraid after. He said, “We’re going to die.” The other preacher was okay. He said, “Man, how are you okay? Man, this plane is—you’re shaking all over. We’re about to die here.” And he said, “No, no, I’m okay.” He said, “We’re not going to die here because we’ve always preached for all these years, God will give us dying grace. And I don’t have the grace to die right now, so we’re going to be okay.” You don’t have to live in fear. Everything you’re going to go through, God’s got the grace available.
I read this quote today in my notes. I think it’s from Spurgeon, I’m not sure, but let me read it for you. It said, “Lord, I crawled across the barrenness to you with an empty cup, uncertain in asking any small drop of refreshment. If only I had known you better, I’d have come running with a bucket.” I got everything you need for him. And Satan’s always trying to get us to live in fear because Jesus is our high priest. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” He’s always got it there. Don’t let those moments you get triggered just, man, take it to the worst. No, no, He’s got the grace. I’m going to get to the throne of grace and I’ll obtain mercy and I’ll find the grace. He’ll have it there.
Charles Weigel, great preacher years gone by. He was an evangelist for years, pastor, I believe, and an evangelist for years. And his wife, he got older, his wife just got tired of him. She left him. And he spent out the last years of his life living at Tennessee Temple. Lee Robertson, he had a little apartment for him there. And he lived there and preached out, but he was just alone by himself. My old preacher by the house said, “I’d never forget one time I was there, and he said I was preaching, and I didn’t see Charles Weigel.” And he said, “I asked Dr. Roberts, ‘Where’s Brother Weigel at?’” And he said, “Well, he’s not feeling real good,” and whatnot, as he was up in years at that time. And Brother Howe said, “I won’t go by and visit.” He went by where his apartment was. And he was walking down the hallway. And he said the door—he said the door was just ajar a little bit. And Brother Weigel didn’t know it, but he could hear Brother Weigel in there talking to someone. So, Brother Howe said, “I just stayed outside and waited while I don’t interrupt.” And he said he heard him in there talking for a while and just kept talking. He got loud a little bit. He thought, “Wow, what’s going on in there?” And he pushed the door open and came in there. And he said, “I’m sorry for interrupting. I heard you in here talking with someone.” And Brother Weigel said, “Oh, it’s just me and the Lord.” He said, “Well, I heard you getting loud talking with someone.” He said, “Yeah,” he said, “Man, it just got so good in here, me and the Lord just enjoying some time alone with the Lord.” And I don’t remember the whole story, but at one point, Brother Weigel had taken his shoes off, was on the bed standing up, praising the Lord. And I mean, his wife had left him, but God had the grace for him to go through that. In fact, he’s the man that penned the song, “No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus.” I’m saying, friend, whatever goes on in your life, the most tragic thing, God’s always got the grace you need.
Joseph Parker, a great preacher in London, he was debating with an unbeliever in the park. And the unbeliever said, “Well, what did your Jesus do for Stephen when he was stoned to death? What about the grace then? Where was the grace at there?” Mother Parker said, “I think heaven gave me the answer.” He said, “Well, he gave him the grace to pray for those people that were stoning him to death.” God had a plan for Apostle Paul to hear that, and Apostle Paul got saved and spread the gospel and wrote 13 of the 27—maybe 14—of the books of the New Testament. That was God did for him. He’s got all those rewards in heaven because God used it and influenced Paul. Paul got saved. Whatever you’re going through, God’s got… You don’t have to live in fear. You don’t have to—don’t let the devil roar and kind of get you triggered into it. No, don’t go there. No, no, no, no. God’s got the grace for whatever you’re going through. Always has, always will.
Hudson Taylor, his first trip to China, he was sailing on a vessel. They had the sails and all that. They didn’t have ships like we have in our day and time. It took them just weeks and weeks—if I remember right, about six months to get there, I remember right. And they were passing by an island of cannibals. And the wind had really died out. The water, the current was driving them closer and closer to the shore. And daily they’re just getting closer, and they knew this is not good. And they really weren’t moving that much besides closer to the island. No wind, so their sails were down. And everybody was getting desperate on the vessel. And Hudson Taylor was having services trying to get people saved on that vessel. And the captain, he went to Mr. Taylor, Hudson Taylor, said, “Would you pray?” And Hudson Taylor said, “Well, I’ll pray, provided you set your sails to catch the breeze.”
The captain didn’t want to raise the sails. There was no wind. He said, “Man, everybody’s going to make me a laughing stock. You don’t raise sails when there’s no wind. Everybody’s going to be, ‘Lord, what’s happened to the captain? He’s crazy.’” And Hudson Taylor said, “I’m not going to pray unless you get ready for God to answer.” And so the old captain lifted the sails. And Hudson Taylor began to pray. And later on, the captain knocked on his door. “Are you still praying?” Hudson Taylor had prayed. He said, “I felt like God had given me assurance. He’s going to send the wind.” And Hudson Taylor said, “Yeah, I’m in here praying.” And the captain said, “Well, you better stop. He said, ‘We’re about to get more wind than we can handle right now.’” A friend, hey, God’s got the grace for whatever you’ve got. Hudson Taylor faced it in faith, not in fear.
Hey, don’t let the devil snooker you into just living out of fear. Just live by faith. What by faith? How do we have faith with all the problems and all the things going on in our life? Hey, the Lord knew 2020. The Lord knew COVID would be here. He knew election problems would be here. He knew all this stuff. And He’s got the grace for us to live through it. He’ll have a knife to it. He’ll have the grace there. Heaven’s pretty good, amen? I’m just saying, friend, hey, that you can abound to every—every good work, of course, the grace.
