Rely On It

It is when we realize that JESUS is all we have that we begin to understand that JESUS is all we need. Some folks look for answers in all the wrong places and make a lot of bad choices in their search. I know; I've been there.

It seems that we can often get distracted by the next thing. Whatever we are doing isn't as good as what someone else is doing over there. If we could only get that next car, that next house, that next person then we will be happy. What usually happens, though, is we find out that all that next thing brought us was another payment, another concern, another dilemma, another broken relationship.

Today's word is one that I have used but is on my mind this morning. It is 2 Corinthians 12:9a, NIV, which reads, "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness..."

No matter what you may be going through, no matter how much satan is tempting you with the next thing, no matter how much you think these temporal things will bring happiness, no matter how much worse you think you have it than someone else, KNOW that GOD'S grace is sufficient. His grace is all you need to get you through the difficult, confusing, defeating schemes of satan. Rely on it.

If we will realize that GOD'S grace is sufficient and rely on Him to see us through, to get us through, we will truly see His power displayed. It is when we are at our lowest, fully relying on GOD, fully trusting GOD to see us through, fully depending on GOD, that we see the fullness of His power and love and grace and sufficiency. Coming up short on things? GOD'S grace is sufficient. Rely On It!

Be Blessed,
