Gods Grace: For Better or Worse

When we are sold to oppression in life via job situations, relationships that are not what we expected, health crises, loss, and poverty, just to name a few, God instructs us to count it all joy. Knowing that it is the grace of God that allows us to experience these moments or chapters of resistance for our well being. Likewise, when we experience the chapters that we all hope for where it seems like all is well and life is the charmed march from one delightful moment to the next then this is also the grace of God. These moments of bliss are not designed to promote delusion but rather to be viewed in contrast of what we deserve and thereby delivering the humbling reality of God's goodness and grace.
