GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | AT HOME WITH GOD

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) John 14:23 New Century Version (NCV)

²³ Jesus answered, “If people love me, they will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

3. Thoughts

a) God wants to be your dwelling place. He has no interest in being a weekend getaway or a Sunday bungalow or a summer cottage. Don't consider using God as a vacation cabin or an eventual retirement home. He wants you under His roof now and always. He wants to be your mailing address, your point of reference; He wants to be your home...

b) For many this is a new thought. We think of God as a deity to discuss, not a place to dwell. We think of God as a mysterious miracle worker, not a house to live in. We think God as a creator to call on, not a home to reside in. But our Father wants to be much more. He wants to be the One in whom "we live and move and have our being."

Acts 17:28 New International Version (NIV)

²⁸ ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
