GRACE, Exploring Its Riches



                                     the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But
                                     Noah  found  grace  in  the  eyes  of  the  LORD”
                                     (Genesis 6:6-8).


                               Moses also FOUND grace.

                                     “Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to
                                     me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me

                                     know whom You will send with me. Yet You have
                                     said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also
                                     found grace in My sight.’ Now therefore, I pray, if
                                     I have found grace in Your sight, show me now
                                     Your way , that I may know You and that I may
                                     find grace in Your sight. And consider that this
                                     nation  is  Your  people.”  So  the  LORD  said  to
                                     Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have
                                     spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and
                                     I know you by name” (Exodus 33:12-13, 17).


                               In  Esther’s  case,  the  Bible  says  she  OBTAINED
                               favour/grace to be chosen as queen among several beautiful
                               ladies.


                                     “Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter
                                     of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken
                                     her  as  his  daughter,  to  go  in  to  the  king,  she
                                     requested  nothing  but  what  Hegai  the  king’s
                                     eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And
                                     Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw
