But even greater is God\u2019s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.\u201d -Romans 5:17<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am always on the lookout for God-signs in my life. It\u2019s one of the ways God speaks to me. Two things He uses in my life to confirm my direction are rainbows, and the number 17.<\/p>\n<p>The rainbow is symbolic of grace and God\u2019s promise, and the number 17 is also symbolic of grace to me. One rainbow, 7 colors. I was born on the 17th, and married on the 17th. It seems whenever I look at the clock it\u2019s 17 past the hour. Often when I travel I end up at gate 17 or taking off on runway 17. I\u2019m not a numerologist or anything, but it\u2019s really quite uncanny!<\/p>\n<p>Once I was with my husband at a football party. I\u2019m not really into football, so it wasn\u2019t that interesting to me, but I asked God if there was anything I could learn from the game. Then, I saw on the screen that a player with a number 17 had just made a really great tackle. I felt the Holy Spirit say to me, \u201cGrace wins the game.\u201d I thought it was so profound, I had to type it in my phone to remember!<\/p>\n<p>But isn\u2019t it true that it\u2019s really grace that wins the game of life. It isn\u2019t who is right or wrong that counts \u2013 it\u2019s God\u2019s amazing grace that allows us to overcome. His grace is what saves us, His grace is what restores us, makes us better, and heals us. His grace is the reason we have anything good in our lives, because we surely don\u2019t deserve it.<\/p>\n<p>Have you experienced God\u2019s grace in your life? I pray that you will, in every area, so that you can overcome in every area of your life and walk on the path that leads to redemption.<\/p>\n<p>                    Subscribe Now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grace Wins the Game \u201cFor the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many.
