“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” 2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV. There are times in life when we go through difficult situations and realize again how weak we are in ourselves. Perhaps we begin to wonder if we will be able to make it through with peace and victory. Our concern is not about God’s power or willingness to help, but about our ability to lay hold of what He provides for us. These words remind us that God not only has all the grace we need, but He is well able to make His grace active in our hearts and lives in the full capacity that we need it. When we feel unable, let our faith rest in the truth that God is able! He is able to extend to us all the grace we need for every situation. And when His marvelous grace fills our hearts, we will have sufficient for everything we ever face. With His grace abounding in us, we will be able to accomplish the good work He calls us to. When the Apostle Paul faced one of his greatest trials, he pleaded with God to remove it. But when he finally received the word of the Lord, he discovered something far better. Jesus said to him, “My grace is sufficient for you”. No matter what we face, let us rest our souls in that same promise. His grace is sufficient.
