Sufficient Grace
- Details
- Written by Barb Braswell
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)
Early one morning, I woke up with this song on my heart...
"His grace is sufficient for me. And His love is abundant and free. Oh what Joy fills my soul, just to know, just to know. That His grace is sufficient for me"
I had several appointments that day and a lot of things to accomplish. As the day progressed, it seemed to overflow with hassles, troubles and roadblocks. As I faced the increasing obstacles throughout the day, I felt frazzled, weary, puzzled, and confused. And yet, as each new development added to my list of what hadn't gone right that day, I found myself singing about His abundant love and joy.
I was reminded that no matter the test, trial, or difficulty that we face, God's grace is sufficient!
"We are not saying that we can do this work ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do."
2 Corinthians 3:5 (NCV)
