At our church meeting last Sunday, Llew Moore spoke about his Christian walk and it was wonderful and amazing to hear of the powerful work of God through the many ups and downs of life. One of the points made by Llew was the significance of future grace in his life. Llew was impacted by the book by John Piper called "Future Grace". John Piper prefaces his book by referring to his mother and the way that she saturated him in the Scriptures. He said that her favourite quote was from Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths". Piper makes the point that in this passage there is a call to live by faith in future grace. He says that his mother "called me to trust the Lord and she showed me that the focus of my trust is what God promised to do for me in the future".
Llew's talk was a great reminder of God's future grace. As we look back we can see many of the works that God has done in our lives that were unclear at the time and can have confidence by faith in his future grace.
