SUFFICIENT GRACE



Paul asked the Lord that his thorn in the flesh be removed. We have no knowledge of what that thorn was, but such was the painfulness and seriousness of it that Paul requested three times to be freed from it. The Lord’s answer was, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness” [II CORINTHIANS 12:9]. When the Lord’s children are afflicted with sickness or disease, we ask the Lord to remove the thorn, if it be His will. After all, is He not the Great Physician?

Many times, however, it is not His will to heal us. The word given to Paul, however, remains valid to all who love Christ: “My grace is sufficient for thee.” We have our Redeemer’s promise, He will give sufficient grace (saving and supporting grace) to endure whatever trial He, in His infinite wisdom, sends our way. “Lord, make this promise be a soft pillow for all Your suffering children.” The Sender of the trial will give grace and will uphold us by His strength in our times of weakness. May our response be the same as Paul’s. “Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
