God's Grace Experienced

Since I have been writing for a few months without actually explaining  what this blog is all about I will seek to give a brief overview in this blog. I've Always Been Rich, is a story about God working through my life, showing and calling at different times to different experiences and than enjoying the richness of His GRACE.  Grace can be defined as God's Riches at Christ's Expense. This it totally true as we realize that God did go to the cross so that we could be free from the condemnation of our sin.  But how does that look in our present everyday life? To the author it means that everything is seen as a working out of His will. That God calls us to scary jobs or even to everyday challenges in evident in the authors life.  However, God's call is always followed by the enabling and with that in mind it becomes a time when we can rest in God's promise to give us the tools to carry out His mission.  What a peace that brings and what an affirmation of His promises. I recently ran across an article that shows how this was true in Bible days as well.  "Timothy had too many ulcers, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Rahab was a prostitute, Isaiah preached naked for three years, John the Baptist ate bugs and had second thoughts about the very Messiah he baptized".   They all were used in various ways by God.  I could go on with many other examples in the Bible.  If the Bible characters are not familiar to you google one of them and look up the scripture that tells about that particular person and it will be verified that those people were not qualified.  In fact is says, God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called!  The author can personally vouch for the truth of that.  She could not say 10 words when she was in a group of people she knew when she was 20 years old without getting  tongue tied and sweaty.  God called her to ministry and she has spoken to groups across this country and up into Canada and on a one to one basis as a chaplain.  Does she do it perfectly and in her own strength? No, she must totally rely on God giving her the words and blessing what she says.  That is the Richness of God's Grace.
