"My grace is sufficient for thee." 2 Cor 12:9

"My grace is sufficient for thee." 2 Cor 12:9

YOU need look to no other quarter for help, relief, or comfort.
Jesus assures you that His grace is sufficient. You are welcome
to it. You are exhorted to have it. To be strong in the grace
which is in Christ Jesus.

It is sufficient to support you under every privation, to help
you over every difficulty, to strengthen you for every duty, to
mortify every lust, and to fill you with all joy and peace in
believing.

His grace is almighty, it is free, it is durable, it brings
salvation. Look not at difficulties, dangers, or thy own
weakness; but look to the free, powerful, and promised grace of
Jesus.

Go to His throne of grace this morning, on purpose to receive
grace for this day; go every day, and whenever you feel weak,
timid, or cast down. His grace was found sufficient for Paul,
for the martyrs and saints, in the deepest trials, and it will be
found sufficient for thee. He says, "I am the Lord thy God; open
thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Come boldly to the throne of grace, that ye may obtain mercy and
find grace to help you in time of need. Every one that asketh
receiveth." O Jesus, make good Thy word in me!

Thy strength in weakness is display'd;
My soul this truth can relish now:
A worm upon Thy power is stay'd;
The weaker he, the stronger Thou:
My hope, my joy, is this alone -
My strength is Christ, THE MIGHTY ONE

Malachi 3:3

Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.
One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?"

He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it." If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them. And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.
