God’s Grace Is Sufficient by Kirk Hunt

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NKJV

The apostle prayed earnestly and sincerely. A man who had given his life in service to God, sought just this one thing to ease his existence. In response, God reminded Paul that He had already given him grace.

It always grates my ears when someone says, “God did not answer my prayer.” God always responds. Too often, we do not like what He says.

In our tears, or grief, or anger, we too often pray selfish prayers. In our blissful ignorance, we too often pray unastute prayers. We pray with limited sight and understanding. We cannot see the impact on generations to come, or souls we will never meet.

God, who loves you, knows best. God, who loves them, is looking out for them, and you. So, in grace, Father-God provides an answer that is the best solution for you.

The tears might still be there. The grief may still be in full effect. You may still have to wrestle with your anger. But you continue to operate in God’s grace, and that is enough.

“No,” is often a very loving answer. “Yes,” may include more challenge than you thought. Just be glad, that our omniscient, omnipotent God is pouring grace on you.

Think: Where is God’s grace already in your life?

Pray: “Lord, help me to understand Your grace is enough for me.”
