“Of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace” (John 1:16).
Do we need more grace? “He giveth more grace” (James 4:6).
The Apostle Paul had an affliction referred to as “a thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7). He asked the Lord three times to remove it, and finally the Lord said “No Paul,” “My grace is sufficient for thee” (2 Corinthians 12:9). That same, enabling grace is still sufficient to carry us through every detail and circumstance of life.
Grace meets us in our present need. The last promise of Scripture is, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:21). Going through a trial enlarges our souls as to the reality of that abundant, yes, limitless supply!
I felt so tired and weak today,
And then I heard my Savior say,
“My grace has all sufficient power,
For every step, for every hour;
Lean hard on me, I’m with you here,
Do not give up, I am your cheer.”
I drew upon that grace and strength,
And found sufficiency at length:
And so the hours passed quickly by,
Together with my Lord and I;
I leaned on Him, He was so near,
And through it all became more dear.
So if you feel frail and weak,
Rest in Lord, His comfort seek:
You may be weary of the way,
But don’t forget to watch and pray.
He’ll give more grace for every hour,
And you will know its holy power.
