GOD IS SUFFICIENT IN GRACE

Sufficient is to come into the presence of for the first time : to be introduced to or become acquainted with something. 

2 Corinthians 2:16

"Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and spreads everywhere the aroma of his knowledge through us.  For we are to God a fragrance of Christ among those who are saved, and among those who perish.  To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 

2 Corinthians 2:14-16

WHO IS SUFFICIENT?

Believing in grace for past and future trials is easy, but resting in grace for the immediate need is true faith. Believer, grace is sufficient right now. Do not say that this is a new trouble, but if you do, remember that the grace of God is always new.

 Do not complain that some strange thing has happened, but if you do, remember that blessings are provided to meet your strange difficulties.

Do not tremble because the thorn in the flesh is so mysterious ( And so that I would not be highly lifted up with pride because of the greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to beat me, so that I would not become highly lifted up with pride. 

2 Corinthians 12:7 ), but if you do, remember that grace is mysterious too, and so mystery will meet mystery.

Right now and at all moments that will occur between now and glory, God's grace will be sufficient. This sufficiency is declared without any limiting words. Thus the Lord Jesus is sufficient to uphold, sufficient to strengthen, sufficient to comfort, sufficient to make trouble useful, sufficient to enable you to triumph, sufficient to bring you out of ten thousand trials, and sufficient to bring you home to heaven.

Whatever is good, Christ's grace is sufficient to bestow. Whatever would harm, His grace is sufficient to avert. Whatever you need, His grace is sufficient to give, if it is for your good.

Whatever you would avoid, His grace can shield, if His wisdom dictates. I am glad that they cannot put all sufficiency into words. If so, it would be finite. Since we can never express it, glory be to God, for it is inexhaustible. Our demands can never be too great.

Why can't you then come to that God of all sufficient Grace to supply all your needs. Your efforts is limited. JESU is stretching His Arm towards you today. Why not coming to Him for all your needs.

EXPECTING MORE TRIAL TO ESTABLISH YOUR FAITH IN GOD

EXPECT MORE TRIALS. 

Genesis 22:1

God does not put heavy burdens on weak shoulders. God educates and tests our faith by trials that increase in proportion to our faith. God expect us to do adult work and to endure adult afflictions only after we have reached a mature status in Christ Jesus. Therefore, beloved, expect your trials to multiply as you proceed toward heaven.

Do not think that as you grow in grace your path will become smoother and the sky calmer and clearer. But it's quite the contrary.

As God gives you greater skill as a soldier of the cross, He will send you on more difficult missions. As He more fully equips your ship to sail in storms, He will send you on longer voyages to more boisterous seas, so that you may honor Him and increase in holy confidence.

You would think that in Abraham's old age -after he had come to the land of Beulah, after the birth of Isaac, and especially after the expulsion of Ishmael, he would have had a time of rest.

But ―it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham -(Gen. 22:1). 

Let Abraham's story warn us to never plan on a rest from trials this side of the grave.

The trumpet still plays the notes of war. You cannot sit down and put the victory wreath on your head. You do not have a crown yet. You still must wear the helmet and carry the sword. You must watch, pray, and fight. Expect your last battle to be the most difficult, for the enemy's fiercest charge is reserved for the end of the day. 

Stand firm and wait upon the Lord. God is always with you. Your trial is further attested to you in your faith in God.

God bless you.
