When a human says something will be sufficient for us, we feel pretty good about it if it’s someone we trust. When He says His grace is sufficient for us (II Corin 12:9), there is no ‘if’ and what greater weight His promise has! We can fill in the blank in any situation on any given day if we only remember, and I know I need to work on that. For example,
“I am so sick, but His grace is sufficient.”
“I am so broke, but His grace is sufficient.”
“I am so tired… or hurt… or angry… or lost… or lonely…. (we fill in the blank)… but His grace is sufficient.”
He promised it and His grace covers it all.
Why in the world He puts up with my insufficiencies, covers them with his overabundant grace, is so hard to take in some days but I it means everything… it is everything.
