Ievil knows that, but his slaves don't.
Now, l want to call your attention to
he second verse of our lesson.
Showed us no common Kindness
Well, bless our Lord anyway-its just
ike Him. Nehemiah prayed for days

lin go and fix up the wrongs about
Judah. Sure he sent him and big
guard with him beside. See Neh.

!ath caused me to sit in with Him
self and the saints. But, as I've said
80 often, the best erd of this thing is
head of the child of God-in the
morning. So the kindness, Paul never
expected that.
The devil never will tell one of his
ayes that the smallest crumb from
he blessed God of all grace is ten
cd better than the biggest loaf the
levil ever had, and Gods grace
knows no limits IS to space, time or
people. 1t provides salvation for a |
men of all nations. It will knock
out all so-called patriotism. l will
yet save the church and lift it unto
the heavenlies. Eph. 2-4-10. Words

grace is sufficient for thee" 1t is
like the widows oil. So long as there
are empty vessels that could be had
o d cou.d not fail So long as he can
find an empty heart hungering after
His grace and salvation He cannot
fail and this is the God and this is
the grace that Paul had for all man
kind, for he was not ashamed of such
a God and grace. Is my reader? Do
you know this God and grace? If
this grace is not flowing in, it is be-
cause we have allowed sem ching
else to some inf we are empty He
can fill. He found an empty soul in
Saul and He made Paul. One has
given four foid view Of God: Mercy
verse 4; Love- verse 4; Grace, verse
s.; Kindness, verse 7, and in this the
fivefould results of His work for us,
quickened us, verse 1; raised d3,
verse, 9; seated US, verse 8; created
US, verse 10; and He will display us,
verse Z. There is no other source of
salvation for guilty man.
