DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 13:1-32; Jeremiah 23; Colossians 1:21 to 2:7
I besought the Lord thrice…And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9
This is the best answer to prayer! The grace of God is His divine favour poured out on us and in us. The great Apostle asked for the removal of infirmity and distress, but the Lord’s answer was “no," and He gave him something better. Paul was not discouraged or depressed because he didn’t get what he asked for. Note his words in verse 10, “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities…for when I am weak, then I am strong.” Dear believer, God’s grace is sufficient for you, too. Take comfort and encouragement in His grace today!—C.K.
Grace led my roving feet to tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet, while pressing on to God.—Philip Doddridge
