Here is my God!
“–My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness–” 2 Cor. 12:9
He was a wise man who said, “Rather than saying ‘God here is my problem’,we should put the problem into perspective by saying, ‘Problem, here is my God!” Indeed, we should introduce our problems to God. Although God knows what we are going through, he is pleased when we express our faith that He can get us through it – our belief that He is able to conquer everything that threatens us.
When we focus on our problem we get discouraged. But, when we shift our focus to God our view of the problems begin to shrink and we see them as manageable. However, it is not just our view that enables us to conquer our trials, as though we have the strength to overcome them. It is the greatness of God’s grace that provides the victory. Regardless of what you are facing today you can rest assured that His grace is sufficient.
One man put it like this: “He comes to us in the brokenness of our health, in the shipwreck of our family lives, in the loss of all possible peace of mind, even in the very thick of our sins. He saves us in our disasters, not from them.”(Robert Capon).
That’s true. No one is exempt from problems, but everyone who puts their faith in Christ can have the assurance that God’s grace will be sufficent. After all, He who cannot lie has promised. I rest my weary soul soul on that. So can you!
