Good
Morning!
Today, let's
find out what The Holy Spirit wants us to "glean" from what is
written in 2Corinthians 12:9 concerning the GRACE of God! I am not
going to "type out" what this scriptures says...I believe that you
already did your "homework"!
So, what the Lord is wanting me to do today is "expound" on it.
In other words, to help us really understand what the scripture is saying to
us today! I did not know that He was going to do it this way, but you
know what?...He is God, after all, and He can do whatever He wants
to do in these "Encouragements"!
In this scripture The Lord
tells the Apostle Paul that His GRACE is "sufficient" for him, no matter
what his problem is and no matter what his "weaknesses" are!
He also defines His GRACE as being His "power and His strength", and
says that it becomes most "effective" in Paul's weakness! Oh!
Praise God!!! He is saying the same thing to us, today! If
we did not have any challenges in our lives and if we did not have
any weaknesses....we would not need God's GRACE! Can you see this?
His GRACE gives us "power" to overcome our challenges, and it gives us
"strength" when we are weak! Bottom line....HIS GRACE REALLY
IS "SUFFICIENT"!!! We cannot depend upon our
"own" power, or our "own" strength to overcome our
weaknesses! You know why? Because we do not have any "power"
or "strength" apart from Jesus! Our "power"
and our "strength" only comes from HIM! This brings
us back to what we found out in yesterday's Encouragement.....God's GRACE is
in JESUS! Oh! How I love the "simplicity" of God's
Word!!
Remember, I won't be
sending out the "Encouragement" Thursday, but I will be back on
Friday to talk about 1Corinthians 15:10 and I am excited about what The
Holy Spirit will be teaching us!
Say this: "Lord, no
longer will I come down upon myself because of my weaknesses! I know that you
will use them as an opportunity to show me your GRACE! I say
with my "mouth" and believe in my "heart",
that your GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME!
Have
a Blessed Day!! (His GRACE is "sufficient for
YOU!) In His Love, Luanne
