Not a license

SCRIPTURE
Jude 1: 4 They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

OBSERVATION
Yesterday as I journaled from the book of Isaiah the grace of God that moves him to remove our sin was so big. Today as I journal from the book of Jude this great caution jumps from the page. That there are many who change the grace of God into a license for immorality or sin. Even angels are listed among some who have fallen into the trap.

APPLICATION
As wonderful as I see the grace of God, and no matter to what measure I have experienced it in my life, and no matter how much I desire others to experience the touch of God's grace in their own life...it is never a license sin...I am not free to sin because of God's grace...but because of His grace in my life....I am free from sin.

PRAYER
Lord, you know how easily we can get off course....and me, I have a tendency to get my head in the clouds and think about how wonderful you are, ( You are so wonderful!) thank you for your grace but, also for your instruction and warning here in Jude. Your grace is free, abundant and able. Its not a license to do my own thing and think you'll look the other way.
