All Sufficient Grace

The past couple of days I've been struggling a little. I've had something happen in my life that breaks my heart. I'm constantly praying for wisdom because I don't know what to do. This morning I had this strange craving. I had to find something in God's word. I didn't know what it was so before I started looking I asked God to show me. My thoughts turned to my Armed and Dangerous book. This book has been an amazing tool many times since I received it. It's bright orange and I definitely recommend getting it if you have the chance. It has many, many verses listed by topic. Abortion, accountability, ambition, appearance, bad habits, beauty, bitterness, compassion, confidence, conformity, envy, faith, dating, guilt, forgiveness, homosexuality, humility, money, marriage, persecution, prayer, pride, was, trouble... so many that all people deal with everyday. When I was looking through it this morning I flipped to the topic of defeat. It wasn't where I had planned on looking but when I saw it at the top of the page I thought it fitting. I did feel defeated in this situation. It was getting out of control and there was nothing I could do about it. But that's why God directed me to this verse. 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." His grace is sufficient... His power is made perfect in my weakness... How amazing is that? I can't get over it. When the words sank in I had this overwhelming peace. In this horrible situation God's power is made perfect. I continue to ask for wisdom because I know God has a plan for what is happening. I pray to be led to the foot of the cross because thats what everything comes back to. That was a day God's power was truly made perfect. Everything we do either leads someone to the cross or turns them away. I pray that in everything I do and say someone would see God's light and love.
