TODAY’S VERSE
But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you.”
II Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
I never get used to God’s grace! Grace is God’s “unmerited favor” toward us who believe. In other words, He lavishes His love on you and me for no other reason than He “wants to.” His love is perfect. God’s grace is His purposeful manifestation of perfect love toward us. Paul came upon a tremendous burden in his life and sought relief from God, but instead of getting his request, God told him, “My grace is sufficient for you!” He asked for relief from a situation, but he got so much more. He received grace from God that was sufficient to meet his every need. In his classic book, “Addiction and Grace” Gerald May writes, “Grace is the invincible advocate of freedom and the absolute expression of perfect love. – For Christians, grace is the dynamic outpouring of God’s loving nature that flows into and through creation in an endless self-offering of healing, love, illumination, and reconciliation. It is a gift that is often given in spite of our intentions and errors. At such times, when grace is so clearly given unrequested, uninvited, even undeserved, there can be no authentic response but gratitude and awe.” Today, may you be conscious of His grace toward you. May you sense it in His attention, mercy, peace, strength, and love He directs toward you. Today, might you truly hope in this, His grace will indeed be sufficient for whatever will come your way.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, how amazing is Your grace! Thank You that no matter what comes my way today, You promised that Your grace toward me will be sufficient enough to see me through. I praise You for Your grace of love, of forgiveness, of mercy, of peace, of joy, of strength, and of provision. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN
