Hey, take it from me, this picture doesn’t describe me! I was NOT a person “born into privilege” (and yet it some ways I was… Godly parents, loving home, life on the farm…) – but not privilege like position, possessions or prestige … just a farm kid from a little town in Western Montana.
This morning during my Bible reading (on my birthday) I was reminded of all of that when I read Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 15.10…
“But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor (i.e. His “grace”) on me! And not without results. For I have worked harder than others… Yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace!”
That’s my testimony… God’s grace … and personal application (and even then the grace to apply yourself)! Not a bad combination! I recommend it! How did someone put it? … “Little is much when God is in it!”
