“God’s grace is more than enough!”
The Apostle Paul penned these words after pleading with God to remove his “thorn in the flesh.” Instead of taking the struggle away, God reminded him—and us—of this timeless truth in 2 Corinthians 12:9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul’s weakness became the very platform for God’s strength. In sharing his testimony, he wasn’t merely admitting frailty—he was declaring that his weakness was the stage where God’s power shine the brightest. Grace doesn’t simply excuse our limitations; it transforms them into opportunities for God to reveal His power in undeniable, unexplainable, and irrefutable ways.
This truth didn’t begin with Paul. Centuries earlier, Isaiah 30:29 proclaimed, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” What Paul revealed in the New Testament had already been foreshadowed in the Old: God delights in filling empty vessels, restoring the broken, and empowering the fainthearted.
So Beloved, when you feel inadequate, remember—it’s not your strength God is looking for, but your surrender. That’s why Paul could boldly proclaim in 2 Corinthians 12:10, “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” His personal and intimate testimony proves that grace doesn’t just cover your weakness; it transforms it into a stage where God’s power is magnified in your life!
Pray with me:
Father God, thank You that Your grace is sufficient and Your power is perfected in my weakness. Help me to trust that where I fall short, You stand strong. Let my life be a testimony that in Christ, I am sustained, renewed, and victorious. In Jesus’ name we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
