Wednesdays Word....Grace

Grace can be different things to different people but one thing is for certain; it is one of the most amazing gifts we've been given. A lot of people think of some one's lack of clumsiness as grace others may think of some one's fall from grace or it is used in conjunction with saving grace or by the grace of God but regardless it seems to be directed towards God and for good reason. Grace has been documented from the beginnings of time as God freely pouring out his favor and love to his people despite their actions. Trust me I'm thankful for this because I always seem to be like Paul in 2 Corinthians begging for my circumstances to change feeling I'd be better equipped to do God's work if only things would be the way that I thought they should be. But listen to verses 9 & 10 of chapter 12...
⁹ 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. ¹⁰ That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Regardless of your beliefs those few words make up 4 of the most powerful sentences ever seen by man. We all have our weaknesses but they will become our strengths through God's Grace if we let them because His Grace is enough.

Here to lyrically provide us this illustration is Matt Maher with Your Grace is Enough...now some of you are probably saying wait I thought Chris Tomlin did that song. Well you are right but Matt wrote it some I'm giving him his due.  

Great is your faithfulness oh God

You wrestle with the sinner's heart
You lead us by still waters into mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, oh God

Your grace is enough.
Your grace is enough.
Your grace is enough.
Your grace is enough for me.

Great is your love and justice God.
You use the weak to lead the strong.
You lead us in the song of your salvation
And all your people sing along.

So remember your people.
Remember your children.
Remember your promise, oh God.

Your Grace is enough
Heaven reaching down to us
Your Grace is enough for me

God, I see your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me

For me
