Suffering: part 8 of 10
2nd CORINTHIANS 12:9
. . .And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you; for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of CHRIST may rest upon me!
The comfort God gives us is greater then our suffering . . .
When Paul asked God to remove his torn in the flesh- God's reply was no - HE would not do it - instead God said His grace was sufficient for Paul -it was enough - it was all he really needed - Paul had to suffer with whatever his torn was - and all of us have to suffer some time - none of us will escape it - I found it so interesting that today many people will pay any cost and do anything to have a pain free life - pain is not always a bad thing - and whatever pain we face- God's peace He gives us to us greater - His peace and His grace will keep us standing when we should fall down - God sustains us - He holds us up when we can no longer stand - God allows pain to show us that this is not our home - we are just passing through -everything here is temporary - we are going home soon.
As I went through my day yesterday - I had numerous problems- had to do a lot of work over because of an error and I was behind all day - I felt the Holy Spirit continue to tell me that I should consider it all joy just like Paul did - this is a very hard thing for us in the flesh- but with God all things are possible- lets remember all the trials we face each day where hand picked by God Himself - He knows what He is doing - our job is to trust Him - and in the end all things will work out according to HIS mighty will-
His grace is indeed sufficient for us! Rejoice in that!
A SIDE NOTE:
When we face trials - its an oppurtunity to show our depedance on God - Paul said to consider it all joy - and he also knew the secert of being content in all circumstances -nothing caused Paul grief because HE had God's grace and it was sufficent!
in CHRIST no trial is able to consume us!
