God's Good Grace

Day 5

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

God's Grace is one of the reasons that I believe He is so good! He showers us with Grace, unmerited favor, and undeserved blessings in our lives.  He uses us to accomplish His purposes, when we are not skilled or prepared to do so.

Several years ago we travelled to Kenya for a 2 week missions trip. During our time there we saw God's provision time and time again. One night as we were preparing for an outreach event we were unaware of the Grace that would be bestowed on us. Local people from the surrounding villages started coming to the school for worship and teaching. 

God used our little team of Americans to share the good news of Jesus with men and women who were hungry for the truth. 

After our worship (Zumba style) I stood in front of the crowded school and God's love and grace poured out of me, through the translator and into the hearts of those dear friends.  I was so humbled at God's goodness to use me that day. 

He didn't have to, He could of chose someone else, but instead He graciously allowed me the honor of serving Him and others in that way.

One of the reasons that God is good is because of His Grace. In those moments where you think that you are too weak, It is then that His good grace strengthens you and empowers you to do immeasurably more than you could ever imagine! 

How has He shown His good grace to you?

Prayer

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
