Boundless Bounty

In our age of information and knowledge, it is perhaps considered by most people narrow and limited to express the view that God is the only One who can fully equip us. Nowadays there is so much we can do to skill ourselves in life. But let's face it, most of our self-skilling relates to "head-knowledge" (temporal) and what I'm referring to here is "heart-knowledge" (eternal). While man is finite, God is infinite.

An anonymous someone once quoted these words that are now familiar sermon material:
"God doesn't always call the equipped, but He always equips the called".
How does that thought sit with you?

I'm certainly encouraged to know that, even when I reach the limit of my own resources, God is there waiting to empower and strengthen me with the inspirational resource of His boundless grace. Hallelujah!

SASB 579 (verse 3) ~

"When we have exhausted our store of endurance,

When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,

When we reach the end of our hoarded resources

Our Father's full giving is only begun."
