00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. We see God's grace in two ways.
00:00:29.880 one I've already named, which is the fact that God in his mercy allows us to progress in our
00:00:36.280 maturity and providentially, as we're progressing in maturity, to progress in the difficulty of the
00:00:43.020 trials and tribulations that we face. Israel doesn't cross the Jordan River and start with
00:00:49.220 this battle. They start small and the challenges increase in the very same way that our maturity,
00:00:57.720 Our faith starts small and through the process of sanctification over time, we mature and it grows.
00:01:06.980 And this is a mercy of God.
00:01:08.640 Again, this is not a 100% guaranteed promise, but it is what we might refer to as an ordinary principle.
00:01:18.080 It rings true, ordinarily, more often than not, that God allows us to face various trials, challenges, and difficulties that are within the realm of our maturity during that season of life.
00:01:36.040 He did this with David.
00:01:37.820 He did this with Israel under the command of Joshua.
00:01:40.720 and ordinarily very often he does it with New Testament Christians in a corporate sense but
00:01:46.220 also as individual followers of Christ today. So that's the first way that God is gracious.
00:01:52.640 He's gracious in his providence. He's gracious in the caliber of trials that he assigns to us
00:02:00.620 at specific times based off of stages of sanctification in our growth. God is gracious
00:02:07.880 in his providence.
