God's Grace is Sufficient-Always!

From Daily Light this evening:

Who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?

By the grace of God I am what I am.--Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth.--It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.--Where is boasting then? It is excluded.--Christ Jesus . . . is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: . . . He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.--Ye are washed, . . . ye are sanctified, . . . ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

1 COR. 4. 7. 1 Co. 15. 10.--Ja. 1. 18.-- Ro. 9. 16.--Ro. 3. 27.--1 Co. 1. 30, 31. Ep. 2. 1-3.--1 Co. 6. 11.

It has been a hard day after a long hard several weeks. It is always good to be reminded of where my strength comes from and that I am not sufficient in and of myself. God gives strength and grace to meet each need. He knows the path He has prepared for me and He knows and provides for every need. I must trust Him fully and rest in Him.

I am honestly being stretched far beyond my strength. I have found myself crying to the Lord in the evenings in pain and exhaustion that I simply cannot keep going like this. He gently reminds that He knows that I can't and that I must stop trying and instead rest in Him and allow Him to carry me through. His grace is sufficient!
