A proud person will not be able to experience the grace of God. It’s only when you and I come in humility. And we’re to be clothed with it, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” And that is anxiety. “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden; I’ll rest you.” Bring your burden of sin to Him, and He’ll save you. Then come to Him later on, and He will meet you and help you with your problems. “Cast your care upon him.” We’re to worry about nothing, Paul said to the Philippians, but pray about everything. That is, take it to the Lord in prayer and leave it there. Don’t pick it up again.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
