How do you reach out by faith and take what God has already provided by grace?

That's an excellent answer Brother. I've heard that the military teaches it's recruits to be courageous. Act courageous, soon you will be.

Also called walking in it.

As we Christians wait for our prayers to be answered, this is called the "trials of our faith" (1 Peter 1:7). So don't panic! David said, "I have never seen the righteous forsaken. I have never seen their seed begging bread" (Psalm 37:25). So hold onto what God said and watch what God does.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:6 NIV, "Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me." In other words blessed is the person who trust Me and believes in Me and follow Me in spite of Me. Blessed is the person who continues to trust Me when I don't seem to be acting of their behalf. Don't interpret God's silence as absence. Don't confuse God's apparent absence for apathy. Most important keep your feet "shod" with the preparation of readiness for the enemy (Ephesians 6:15).
 
I think it's quite safe to say that we are saved by the grace of God, through faith, and this produces the good works you are talking about.
I'll leaver it there for starters.
 
Oh, and by the way, Rollo Tamasi is on vacation.
I, Friar Tuck am filling in for him.

For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:32-33 NKJV.

If the "first" is missing, Houston we have a problem. In other words you could be living under a voided cross. 1 Corinthians 1:17 NASB

How do I visualize that so I know what I"m reaching out for?

We're just missing each other.
Now I understand better.

Willie T., Hi!
Rollo told me about you.
You're one of the good guys.
Now there's 2 of us!

Next time you see him, tell him to give me a shout. On my Home Forum, there is another couple from Clearwater that my wife and I have had breakfast with, and we could all get together one of these days. (They are pretty special. Good guys to the max.)

So what voids the cross of Christ?
