Rest in Lord's grace, the everlasting strength of life

Thought for today
We all have problems and face challenges in our lives. We all desire to get out of the troubles.
One typical saying is that," Do not try to change other people, try to change yourself." We dig deep into our soul to find fault in our own lives, we struggle hard to change ourselves, we try to be better to gain God's blessing...
But the bible says an opposite way. The Gentiles gain grace by faith in the Lord, the Jews failed by keeping the law.
So, rest on the finished work of the Lord, rest on the established grace of the Lord. It is the everlasting strength. It never fails.
Bible verses
“What does all this mean? Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, they were made right with God. And it was by faith that this took place.”
Romans 9:30 NLT
“But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded.”
Romans 9:31 NLT
“Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.”
Romans 9:32 NLT
