The Sufficiency of God's Grace

My grace is sufficient for you . 2 Corinthians 12:9.

                  Paul had a thorn of flesh and he pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me – 2 Corinthians 12:8. God answered Paul’s prayer by granting him the grace instead of deliverance. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you for My strength is made perfect in weakness” - 2 Corinthians 12:9.

                   Paul was well content with God’s answer as His strength was made perfect in his weakness. He responded that he will boast his weaknesses so that power of Christ dwell in him. As God had promised that His grace will be sufficient for him, he boldly confessed that for when I am weak, I am strong. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift – Ephesians 4:7.

                         Sometimes we expect God to answer our prayer. But God’s answer may be that His grace is sufficient for that particular need. Let us accept it like Paul and be content with the sufficiency of God’s grace. By His grace, we are saved by faith. God’s grace is sufficient in all of our needs. God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you always having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, we thank You for the sufficiency of Your grace. Let Your abundant grace be always sufficient for us and let Your strength be made perfect in our weaknesses. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
