2 Corinthians 12:9
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us.
My favorite song by Laura Story is “Blessings”. It was on the radio a couple of times today. Each time these following words stayed with me.
“We doubt your goodness,
We doubt your love,
As if every promise from your Word
Is not enough”
Lyric excerpt from “Blessings” by Laura Story
Almighty God, in His perfection and before even the existence of time, put a plan in place to redeem those that He has called to be His children. Our sins, past, present, and future have been paid by Jesus. We all know that. We acknowledge and praise Him for His amazing grace.
Then something happens in our lives. It might be a cloudy day, rain when you wanted it to be sunny, being treated unkindly by another, it might be sickness, or a million other things. They might be small or life changing events. And then, all of a sudden, it isn’t enough. We doubt, we lose confidence, we worry. How often I worry. And when I do, I’m saying to God, “Your Word isn’t enough”.
It is though. When the challenges come, and they will, I have to say with confidence “Your grace is sufficient”. Even when it might not feel that way, I know from His Word that it really is. I have to remember to cling to His promises no matter what.
Always praying for the glory of God,
