2Cr 12:9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Very often, when facing challenges from with-out or weaknesses from with-in, we pray to God to remove them miraculously. While many a times God did miraculously deliver us, He did not response 'positively' most of the time! This has caused some of us to erroneously conclude that God is not always with us, especially when we sinned. God loves us and will never leave nor forsake us (Hbr 13:5). He wants us to focus on Jesus, the personification of His love for us and the Source of our blessings, and not just His blessings! God can and will give us all good things freely because of His love for us (Rom 8:32)
His grace is there for us 24 hours, 7 days a week in every and any situation. It can be in the grand form of miraculous healing or financial blessings, or as subtle as ideas or the right word to use in sticky situations. We are living under grace and are actually more blessed than we thought because most of us count only miraculous moves of God. Miracles happen when God suspend the natural law to intervene, as a sign and wonders for the unbelieved, but most of the time, for believers, He wants us to live our through His Spirit of Wisdom in us.
My friend, you can and ought to trust God's goodness and His love for us, because I just cannot fathom who else's goodness and love can we trust!
Let's thank Him daily for His love and faithfulness. His grace is sufficient for us and He is faithful not to allow us to be tempted or tested beyond what we are able to bear (1Cr 10:13), AMEN!
