“Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12)  

It is a curious fact, that saints can be proud of what grace accomplishes, while forgetting to give glory to God. This is pride that precedes destruction, and a haughty spirit that produces failure (Proverbs 16:18). If a saint says, “I have great faith, I shall not fall”, he will fall. If a saint says, “I have great love, so there’s no danger of my going astray", he will go astray. The saint that boasts of grace shows he either has very little grace, or doesn’t understand the nature of grace. If you think its God’s grace that enables you to boast, you deny the God who gives grace. 

 If anyone had reason to boast of his measure of grace, it was the Apostle Paul, who said, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14). He learned the way to cooperate with God’s grace is by deliberate, conscious, dependence on God. “I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10). 

 Grace is a continuous stream from God unless you forget the source. Don’t forget its Christ’s power that enables you to pray more, worship more, read His Word more, deny your flesh, and draw nearer to Him. When you tell people about Christ, hopefully, they’ll sense His presence. Then you’ll be able to say with Paul, “The Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me” (2 Timothy 4:17). Let your constant prayer be, “uphold me according to Your Word” (Psalms 119:116), for it’s Christ alone, “who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory” (Jude 24).
