God's Sufficient Grace!
And He said to me,
“My grace is sufficient
for you.”
2 Corinthians 12: 9
A book of illustrations and quotes says:
“Look to Him as the Divine and only Redeemer,
as an all-sufficient and ever-present Friend,
as
your wisdom, your righteousness, your
sanctification, your complete, and full,
and everlasting redemption.”
When Apostle Paul asked God to relieve an area
of suffering in his life, the Lord left the suffering in
place. He wrapped it in soothing layers of grace—
sufficient and more than sufficient. He’ll do the
same for us.
One day we’ll be free of suffering, but in this
earthly life God doesn’t always take away our
pains. Instead, He wraps them in His grace.
He wraps Himself around us, and His grace
is more than sufficient for
us.
He abundantly satisfies us (Psalm 36:8),
abundantly pardons us (Isaiah 55:7), and
is able to do exceedingly abundantly more
than we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Ask God to help you appropriate His grace,
learning you need no other resource but Him.
When you're weakest, His grace is strongest
for He Himself is our strength.
"Do not despise your weakness,
for it leads you to trust in God’s
strength."
