Daily Encouragement

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. God says this to Paul when he prays three times for a suffering to end. The answer is not healing but: My grace is enough.

This is not cheap comfort. It is a deep truth: God's power does not need your strength as a foundation. It shows itself precisely where you are at your end. Weakness in the New Covenant is not a disqualifier, it is the place where grace becomes visible.

Peace does not come when everything is perfect. Peace comes when you know: Grace is enough. No matter how weak you feel.

Truth: God's power does not need your strength. It works precisely in your weakness. This is not a consolation prize but God's principle in the New Covenant: Grace suffices.

Today practically: Where do you feel weak today? Instead of fighting it, say: Grace may work here. And take the next step in peace.

Question for you: Are you trying to be strong where grace would be enough?
