GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | FINDING GOD'S GRACE

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) Job 10:12 New Century Version (NCV)

12 You gave me life and showed me kindness,
    and in your care you watched over my life.

3. Thoughts

a) Discipline is easy for us to swallow. Logical to assimilate. Manageable and appropriate. But God's grace? Anything but. Examples? How much time do you have?

b) David the psalmist becomes David the voyeur, but by God's grace becomes David the psalmist again.

c) Peter denied Christ before he preached Christ.

d) Zacchaeus, the crook. The cleanest part of his life was the money he'd laundered. But Jesus still had time for him.

e) The thief on the cross: hell-bent and hung-out-to-die one minute, heaven-bound and smiling the next.

f) Story after story. Prayer after prayer. Surprise after surprise. Seems that God is looking more for ways to get us home than for ways to keep us out. We challenge you to find one soul who came to God seeking grace and did not find it.
