II Corinthians 12:9, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
This verse is telling us that God’s grace is sufficient – it’s enough. Actually it’s more than enough to meet every need we may have in life.
As we read God’s Word, much seems to bounce back into our laps. God says His grace is sufficient – if it doesn’t seem so to us – guess who has the problem…WE DO!. God’s promise is there, and He cannot fall short on a promise. Therefore, all the frustrations and anxieties we face in life are magnified simply because we do not reach out and accept this grace that God has promised to us.
This verse is not saying that there will be no problems or heartaches in this life. What it is saying is that God’s strength is available to us so that we will be able to face these problems with assurance and peace.
“That the power of Christ, may rest upon me.” What a great thing. We can walk in the power of Christ. We do not have to depend on our own feeble strength to get us through the day. This promise sure makes the future look brighter and the hardships we may have to endure seem less daunting.
God’s grace and Christ’s power – This is a promise we need to claim daily!
