=FAITH IS THE DOORWAY INTO ALL SUFFICIENT GRACE=
2 Corinthians 12: 9 – 10 (Cont'd)
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my
weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for
Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in
persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
It is God's grace that empowers us to be strong in times when we may
naturally feel weak or even overwhelmed. We all so need His grace each and
every day of our lives. It is when we operate daily in His grace that we
too can own a life that "delights in insults, hardship and persecutions,
etc",knowing that we have all we need in Him.
Notice Paul says, "When I am weak then I am strong". Often I have heard that
preached ,"When I am weak then He (God) is strong," but it does not say
that. Why? Grace (God's power) operates through us and not just outside of
us, because God is in us, and we are the postcode of His residence. His
grace makes us strong to face any and every challenge and obstacle sent to
stop us. It really is enough for us too.
There remains only one doorway into this all-sufficient grace that Paul
knew, and that is faith. Religious works will not get you into it and
neither will begging. It is when you release your faith in the bigness of
your God and in the validity of His promises that you will see and receive
His all-sufficient grace manifested in the midst of what you are going
through. To put it another way, "God comes through".
Champion, faith is the trigger to releasing the grace of God, so why not
pull the trigger again today. You need grace today? Bask in His bigness
and not the momentary threat of the situation. By faith begin to declare
those hope filled words based upon His promises, and then with expectation
wait for your God to turn it all around. You do not need to know how He will
do it, just that He will
Have a great weekend. Through faith enter into grace, grace that is truly
more than enough for you!
God Bless
