Living by the grace that was given to you.

It may seem that sometimes God withholds blessing even though you earnestly seek His favor.
It may be that he is asking you to examine yourself and see if there is something in your life that needs attention before you get His. It may be an unsettled marriage relationship or a broken promise. It may be your own stubborness on another matter. Whatever it is, it is best to clear that up before approaching the Throne of God in His grace.
