My
Grace
Is
All
You
Need.
Scripture
2
Corinthians 12
7...So to keep me
from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger
from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.
8 Three different
times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9 Each time he said, “My
grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I
am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can
work through me.
10
That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults,
hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For
when I am weak, then I am strong.
Observation
There
are times in our lives when God does not answer our prayers, or at
least God does not answer our prayers the way we would like for Him
to answer.
The
Apostle Paul was afflicted with some kind of disease and he begged
for God to take it away, but God did not take it away. Instead, God
let Paul know that God and God's grace was all that he needed.
Our
extended family is going through a very difficult time right now. I
think that we can identify with the Apostle Paul.
God
is saying to all of us, “My grace is all you need.”
God and His
Grace is enough!
He
will get us through this!
Application
I
trust the God's Heart when I cannot see His hand in what is going on.
His grace is enough for me.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I want You to know that I still believe that You are the
Great Healer. I know that You can raise someone from the dead if You
want to. There is nothing impossible or too hard for You to do.
But
I also know that Your ways are not our ways. And I know that there
is no way for us to understand everything that happens in life. I
pray for our family as we go through this difficult time. I pray that
everything that happens would bring our family closer together and
closer to You. Your grace is all that we need.
