DDD: Wages or Faith: Grace Is Not Earned, It’s Received.


Listen Later

A Devotion for your drive into work: 

Are you calculating what God “owes” you, or trusting Him to lavish grace on those with no claim, so your work overflows in gratitude rather than grumbling?

Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Romans 4:4–5 and the parable of the vineyard laborers, showing that wages are paid for work, but righteousness is credited solely through faith, just as Abraham believed God and was counted righteous. The devotional warns against entitlement and reminds believers that God—like the generous landowner—does not owe rewards to any, but graciously gifts faith and blessing even to those who come late, regardless of past works. The lesson for the public square is to place hope and conviction in God’s promises, letting faith energize good works without competition, envy, or entitlement. The prayer urges believers to thank God for provision, pray for leaders by name, and advance biblical values in gratitude each day.
