When Sue and I got married, we traveled to Gothenburg, Sweden to continue the work I had started a few years previously. During part of our ministry time there, we lived in one of the worlds largest shipyards, right in the harbor.

We saw massive ships in dry dock being repaired so they could continue their purpose of transporting oil around the world. No matter how well these ships had been built, they had to have regular maintenance to continue and live a long life of productivity.

For the last few days I have been asking myself the thought of “how am I handling” the abundance of God’s grace given to me. This question was provoked as I started with the book of Ephesians 3 were the apostle Paul unwraps the whole concept of what grace is and how believers should manage it. This scripture brought me back to those days in Sweden and the magnificent ship I saw first hand. As they carried valuable oil around the world, we as believers should be about the business of carrying the valuable grace of God where ever we go.
