GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | YOUR PERSONAL BLESSING

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) 1 Corinthians 4:5 New Century Version (NCV)

⁵ So do not judge before the right time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light things that are now hidden in darkness, and will make known the secret purposes of people’s hearts. Then God will praise each one of them.

3. Thoughts

a) What an incredible sentence. God will praise each one of them. Not "the best of them" nor "a few of them" nor "the achievers among them," but "God will praise each one of them."

b) You won't be left out. God will see to that. In fact, God Himself will give the praise. When it comes to giving recognition, God does not delegate the job. Michael doesn't hand out the crowns. Gabriel doesn't speak on behalf of the throne. God Himself does the honors. God Himself will praise His children.

c) And what's more, the praise is personal!...

d) Awards aren't given a nation at a time, a church at a time, or a generation at a time. The crowns are give one at a time. God Himself will look you in the eye and bless you with the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matthew 25:23 NIV).

Matthew 25:23 New International Version (NIV)

²³ “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
