DO WE KNOW WHAT GOD'S UP TO



Outrageous Grace was written by missionary Grace Fabian

In this book, Grace quoted the following from pgs 39-40 of Elizabeth Elliot in Worldwide Challenge. January 1978:

“In almost anything I offer to Christ, my

reaction would be,‘what is the good of that?’

The use He makes of it is none of my business; it is His business, it is His blessing.

Whatever it is, which at the moment is God’s means of testing my faith and bringing me to the recognition of who He is—That is the thing I can offer.” (pg 144)

“It’s an awesome God who enables a person to trust Him enough to say against all his natural instincts, ‘You know what is best.’ Ross Webb speaking at Edmond’s funeral.” (pg.114)

Hank Hanegraaff had this to say at the funeral of Grace Fabian’s husband:

“ …In the caldron of her suffering, Grace has come to know ever more fully that nothing can befall us without first passing through the filter of God’s love.”

The following is quoted in Grace Fabian's book from God of the Ages:

Margaret Clarkson Hope Publishing, 1983

“God of the ages, History’s Maker,
Planning our pathway, Holding us fast,
Shaping in mercy All that concerns us:
Father, we praise You, Lord of the past.

God of this morning, Gladly Your children
worship before You, Trustingly bow:
Teach us to know You always among us,
Quietly sov’reign-Lord of our now.”

God of tomorrow, Strong Overcomer,
Princes of darkness Own Your command:
What then can harm us? We are Your people,
Now and forever Kept by Your hand.” (pg 146)

“What this dying world could use is a willing man of God
Who dares to go against the grain and work without applause…
Whose love is tough and gentle a man whose word is sure.
God doesn’t need an orator who knows just what to say…
He doesn’t need an army to guarantee a win
He just needs a few good men.” (pg 148)

       “Between the circumstance and me,
               A Father’s loving hand
         Is working all things for my good-
         All moves at His command. -Anon.


          God is behind the scenes and
    controls the scenes He stands behind.”
