Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:4-9.

What do you do when you feel like you're slipping spiritually?
When your habits wobble… your prayer life dips… or your confidence takes a hit… and you wonder, "Is God tired of me yet?"

Paul answers that fear before the Corinthians even think to ask it.

He starts with gratitude.

I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. — 1 Corinthians 1:4-9

Paul sees their future before he addresses their failures.
He knows what's coming in this letter: division, immorality, lawsuits, confusion, and spiritual immaturity.

But he doesn't start with their mess.
He starts with grace—the grip of His grace that won't let go.

• God's grace started this.
• God's grace sustains this.
• God's grace will finish this.

You're enriched. You're gifted. You're sustained. You're kept guiltless.
And none of this hangs on your performance.

It hangs on God's faithfulness.

When you feel shaky… His grip stands steady.
When you feel weak… the grip of His grace that won't let go holds you tight.

If you belong to Jesus, He's not letting go—ever.

DO THIS:

Say this out loud today: "God will sustain me to the end." Repeat it until it sinks deeper than your doubt.

ASK THIS:

1. Where do you feel spiritually "weak" right now?
2. How does knowing God will sustain you change your confidence today?
3. What gift or grace has God given you that you've forgotten to use?

PRAY THIS:

Jesus, thank You for holding me with a grace that refuses to let go. Give me strength, confidence, and faith for today. Amen.
