God’s Grace
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. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Many of times I have gone down on my knees and begged God to lend me His strength. There are times when life hits you, all you want is for this season to end.
In these moments, I am encouraged by the words written in today’s verse which says, “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.” 2 Corinthians 12:9. This truth that we all need to know when facing our weaknesses: God is for you.
God’s grace is sufficient, and this verse reaffirms that God’s grace is big enough to cover every area of our lives. What’s your thorn? Instead of cursing it, consider what God might be doing in your life and through it? Many times, it is easy to want to compartmentalize sections of our lives from God. God’s grace covers the good, the bad, and the ugly. God’s grace fills in the gaps where we fall short and make mistakes. That is great news!
Though you were a sinner set against God, in Jesus Christ He forgave and adopted you. You are no longer a rebel against the King, you are a royal son or daughter. “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32).
Today, I invite you to allow God’s grace to be sufficient and cover all areas in your life. God is not concerned with perfection, but for us to grow each day depending on Him more. God’s grace shines brightest in the broken places of our lives.
Prayer for today: Father, I know you are merciful. Give me this day Your grace in how I live my life today. Give me wisdom and gentleness in how I interact with others. Show me how I can extend this grace back to those who You have placed in my life. Make me pure then peaceable and gentle. May I have a mind that is open to reason and shows mercy. In all of today’s tasks, grant me the wisdom and grace to be sincere and meek. Thank You that You pour out Your grace to me. Amen.
