His Grace is Enough

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.~2 Corinthians 12:9

What do you do when you can’t lift your hands in praise?  What do you do when you long to sing and lift your voice in praise to the King?  What do you do when your body feels bound and you can’t do the thing you long to do ?  You look to God and hear Him day, “ My grace is sufficient for you.”

Sometimes there are circumstances that occur in life that are beyond our control.  There are things that are beyond us, but we must remember that nothing is out of God’s reach and reign.  We can the be free to worship God in spirit and in truth.  

My spirit grieved today as I sat in church because I was unable to physically give God the praise that is due to Him.  My body was fatigued and pained robbed me from expressing with jubilation my thanks for all that God has done for me.  

But I realize that my desire to worship had more to do with me than Him. I was too caught up in what I could and could not do instead of trusting in what He does for me everyday.  He takes what I give Him in sincerity and makes it more than enough because His grace is sufficient.  His grace feels the gaps.  His grace allows me to offer praises from my heart even when my physical body is lacking.  The power is in Christ, not the lifting of my hands.

The enemy would try to stifle our praise.  The enemy wants us distracted and operating in guilt.  Maybe you are having a challenging day emotionally.  Perhaps depression is cloaking you and weighing you down.  We can break free if it, by remembering that His grace is sufficient.  

If you can’t lift your hands, lift your heart.  Lift your heart to God and let His power be made perfect in our weakness.  Let’s let His power rest on us.  Let us receive His peace as we focus on Him rather than all that would try to distract us from Him.  

Jesus you are bigger than any problem or disease.  You are stronger than any weakness and your grace is enough.  You are more than enough for me.  In Jesus name. Amen
