Dwell On These Things

How is God's grace sufficient for us?


Listen Later

Earlier in my Christian walk, I had the mistaken impression that I would experience fewer trials and less difficulties once I followed Jesus, but that’s not accurate.  I don’t think I’ve experienced fewer difficulties, just different ones than I would have experienced if I was attempting to live without Him.

 And the beautiful part of the difficulties I’ve faced is that I can be confident that I don’t face them alone.  Christ is with me.  He is with each of us who trust in Him.  And in Him, we can experience true contentment no matter what takes place in life.  We can be content in Christ when our weaknesses become obvious to us.  We can also be content in Christ when we’re insulted, face hardships, experience persecution, or endure unexpected calamities.  

 The grace of God is truly sufficient for us.  It took Paul much of his life to learn that lesson, and it may take us a while to fully appreciate that trust as well, but our human limitations and unforeseen trials really do provide the perfect opportunity for Jesus to display His power and presence in our lives.
