What happens when grace crashes into a hardened heart? Day 90 of our spiritual journey takes us deep into the transformative power described in 2 Timothy 1:9-10, where we discover grace revealed through Jesus Christ with enough power to completely reshape our lives.

The story of Jean Valjean from Les Misérables serves as our perfect illustration. When the bitter ex-prisoner steals from the very bishop who offered him shelter, he receives not punishment but more silver and a second chance. This extravagant, unexpected grace shatters his defenses and leads him to dedicate his life to others. As theologian E. Stanley Jones reminds us, "Grace binds you with a far stronger cord than the cords of duty or obligation"—a truth that resonates through every genuine spiritual transformation.

My own moment of grace came during a Promise Keepers Conference, where 65,000 men erupted in a 10-minute ovation for pastors and youth pastors. Overwhelmed by this display of affirmation and support, I fell to my knees and promised God my very best. These moments of grace—whether through a silver candlestick or a stadium experience—reveal how God has been working before time began and continues working through eternity. Let His extravagant grace overwhelm and transform you today as you listen to this meditation on divine mercy that calls us deeper into relationship and service. Ready to feel inspired? Join me for just four minutes of spiritual refreshment that might change your entire perspective on grace.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:30.013
Today is Day 90, transformation Grace from 2 Timothy 1, verses 9 and 10.

00:00:30.013 --> 00:00:36.311
Grace has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, jesus Christ.

00:00:36.311 --> 00:00:51.703
The transforming power of grace can overwhelm and change lives, as powerfully illustrated in La Miserable Jean Valjean's life was radically altered when he encountered grace in the form of the bishops.

00:00:51.843 --> 00:00:53.365
Unexpected generosity.

00:00:53.365 --> 00:01:01.149
Valjean, initially hardened by the years of imprisonment, stole from the very man who offered him shelter.

00:01:01.149 --> 00:01:09.746
But instead of condemnation, the bishop showed him grace, forgiving his theft and even offering him more silver.

00:01:09.746 --> 00:01:20.843
Now, this extravagant act of grace broke through Valjean's bitterness and reshaped his life, prompting him to dedicate himself to helping others and living for God.

00:01:20.843 --> 00:01:29.206
Now, stanley Jones once said grace binds you with a far stronger cord than the cords of duty or obligation.

00:01:29.206 --> 00:01:33.054
That sentiment holds true in my life as well.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:39.513
I remember a moment at Promise Keepers Conference once when I renewed my commitment to God.

00:01:39.513 --> 00:01:49.191
Now, during the event, there was pastors and youth pastors that were called to the center of the stadium and the crowd of 65,000 people erupted.

00:01:49.191 --> 00:01:51.427
Applause lasted for 10 minutes.

00:01:51.427 --> 00:01:56.391
That outpouring of support and affirmation overwhelmed me.

00:01:56.391 --> 00:02:02.352
I fell to my knees and I promised God that I would give my very best to Him and His church.

00:02:03.301 --> 00:02:11.008
God's grace has been present from before time, revealed through Jesus Christ, and it's going to continue into eternity.

00:02:11.008 --> 00:02:16.247
It's a force that's so powerful that it can reshape our priorities and our hearts.

00:02:16.247 --> 00:02:21.463
Let God's extravagant grace overwhelm and transform you today.

00:02:21.463 --> 00:02:28.506
That's the same grace that calls us into a deeper relationship with him and into service for his glory.

00:02:28.506 --> 00:02:32.442
Pray with me, father, god.

00:02:32.442 --> 00:02:35.852
Focus our eyes on your extravagant grace.

00:02:35.852 --> 00:02:44.412
May we become spellbound with the mercy of Jesus Christ, so that we offer ourselves totally to your service, amen.

00:02:44.412 --> 00:02:51.569
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
