God's unpredictable grace in lifting His children who seems unqualified in the sight of men is one aspect of His way that rocks the spiritual world to its foundation. How do you feel when a "let my people go" graduate secures a blue chip appointment while you the best graduating student is still submitting application? How do you feel when a not so beautiful lady gets married to a handsome and rich young man while you "beautifully and wonderfully made in the sight of God and men" is an old spinster? The truth remains in a world of absolute justice from God, no man will live. Nevertheless, I am not comfortable with the one sided message prevalent among Nigeria Christians which sees religious activities as the only source of greatness. I fast, I pray, I attend Christian programs as much as I can yet I am not oblivious of the fact that God will not do for men what men should do for themselves. Grace is not a call to laziness, rather it empowers you to be more productive while working hard.
