“It Could’ve Been Me — But Grace Said No”

Text: Job 1:21 | Romans 8:28
Sometimes praise doesn’t come from what did happen—but from what didn’t.
It could’ve been me with no food.It could’ve been me sleeping outside.It could’ve been me sick, addicted, incarcerated, abused, forgotten.It could’ve been me dying before my time.
But grace said, “Not today.”
Job lost everything—family, health, wealth—and still declared,“The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
That kind of faith doesn’t come from comfort.It comes from knowing grace is bigger than loss.
Grace turns survival into testimony.Grace turns weakness into worship.Grace turns pain into praise.
When you look back over your life and realize how close you came to destruction, something rises up in your spirit that says, “Thank You, Lord.”
Thank You for waking me up.Thank You for a sound mind.Thank You for another chance.
If you’re honest, you know it could’ve been you—but grace stepped in.
And that’s enough reason to worship.
