God's Unmerited Favor

This post has nothing to do with me, but it was too good not to share.

We were with some families at our home group meeting and sharing some testimonies of how God has provided for us. One of our families had a great testimony of God's provision. The husband is a car salesman and if you know anything about sales it is usually all commission based. The man has proven himself and has allowed God to use him in his place of work and because of that God is giving him some favor. His boss brought him in to his office and told him that he was going to put him on a yearly salary. Not only that, everything that he sold beyond his salary, he was getting commission on. Talk about favor.

This reminded me of just how much God really loves us and how He is constantly looking out for us. When we are faithful to do what God has called us to do and are diligent in the pursuit of Him, He is always ready to bless us.

A Cool Perspective

Last night I read a book called “Dinner with a Perfect Stranger” by David Gregory. Let me say that this little book was a unique way of looking at how God aligns His perfect timing. After I was finished I was reminded that God will used any and every way to get our attention. He will speak to us in a way that we will understand, and He is always giving the invitation to sit down with Him. The one thing that gets in the way of that invitation is us. We live such a fast pace life that we forget about the most important relationship; our relationship with God.

Food for thought; if you were given and invitation to have dinner with Jesus would you have time?
