Abundant Grace

Abundant Grace

Introduction

Life has a funny way of always taking us by surprise. Seasons come and go and are filled with steady change. In a world of chaos, finding a constant can be one of our greatest obstacles. So what keeps us grounded when we are surrounded by so much uncertainty?

When we first started our business, Crew + Co, life was filled to the brim with unknowns. We didn’t know the future, but we were sure of one thing: We wanted our work to be a reflection of God’s goodness. Through the highs and lows, ups and downs, our journey as business owners has been an in-color picture of the chaos of life. More than that, though, it has been a reflection of God’s faithfulness.

All too often, we find ourselves overwhelmed or bogged down, drenched in the proverbial sweat of simply trying to get by. We get busy. We get tired. But all the while, God offers Himself to us, pouring out His goodness in the quiet moments of the morning and the busy moments of the afternoon. He is always near; we just have to take the time to see Him.

No one said life would be easy, but Jesus did remind us that He would not abandon us in it. He is our constant, our hope, and our joy. Though plenty of distractions will arise, we can always come back to the truth that He has overcome the world. When security seems to crumble like the last saltine cracker, we can always come back to His grace.

Abundant Grace is a forty-day journey of walking in the practical grace of God. Written with the daily grind in mind, these devotionals are designed to remind you of the one true constant: the hope we have in Christ. Each devotion ends with a space for reflection. Some close with questions to ponder, others with a prayer, and others with a prompt to dig into God’s Word. Whatever the activity, may each one bring you greater awareness of and dependence on God’s grace.

The hope of this book is to establish a routine and remembrance as you start each day. Even when we experience moments of feeling empty, we can set aside time throughout our day for moments to be filled because Jesus offers His grace in so many wonderful ways. We hope as you dive into this devotional and into His Word that you will see a new side of God’s grace, waiting at the ready to fill your heart and refresh your soul.

Let’s commit to slowing things down. To being intentional. To walking with Jesus over the next forty days, and to seeing how He leads us into His abundant grace.
