He Giveth More Grace

May 20

He giveth more grace.

James 4:6

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith,

God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

It is impossible to be more welcome at the throne of grace than we are, or for God to be more willing to bestow.

We are as welcome to the throne of grace, as angels are to the throne of glory.

Our God has provided on purpose to give.

He invite us to come that we may receive.

To give grace upon grace.

He will never weary of bestowing, though we are of asking.

We dishonour Him when we asked doubtfully, when we asked for small matters; He bids us to ask in faith, nothing doubting; to open our mouth is wide that He may fill them.

Grace comprises all we need, to pardon our sins, sanctify our natures, conquer our foes, bear our trials, and perform our duties.

If we have not, it is because we ask not, or because we ask amiss, to consume it upon our lusts.

There is great for us this morning; let us apply for it, expect to receive it, and determine to use it for God’s glory and the good of souls.

He will give grace and glory, and no good thing will He withhold from them that walk up rightly.

They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

Ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find.

He giveth liberally, and upbraideth not.

Transporting truth-- amazing word!

What! grace and glory from the Lord

Oh, may I feel the promise true,

Fulfill’d in grace and glory too!

James Smith
