“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: 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.” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

There are just some things that we must settle in our hearts. God provides peace that surpasses all human logic. In the midst of turmoil and life’s challenges, He gently ushers in the strength and grace we need to run this Christian life race day by day.

Here are a few assurances that I have settled in my heart. They provide me with assurance that His amazing grace is sufficient to keep me strong and in perfect peace, day by day… I am sure you can add more:

• God is omniscient and knows everything there is to know about me. It is He who has formed me from my mother’s womb. Jeremiah 1:5 states: “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
• He is omnipotent sovereign and can do all things. When facing life’s uncertainties, I recall His promise: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Luke 1: 37. 
• He is Faithful. Today, I choose to trust and rest in His loving care, and I will forever put my trust in Him. “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Nahum 1:7.
• All glory and honor belong to God alone. “Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.” I Chronicles 29:11.
• He has a divine plan for my life and guides me in the path of righteousness. “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalm 37:23. 
• In times of trouble, I can run to the foot of the cross and find safety for my weary soul! “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
• He is unchangeable and the solid rock on which we stand. “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6. 
• He is omnipresent and will never leave me! Hebrews 13:5 He dispels loneliness and those things that seek to overwhelm me: “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”.
• His amazing grace is sufficient now and forever! “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: 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.” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

My friends, have you settled these truths in your hearts? Praise God that we can rest in knowing that His grace is sufficient. He is closer than the very air that we breathe, and the lover and comforter of our souls. And I am so thankful that He is our constant companion who walks with me, talks with me, and tells me that I am His own. His Word provides all that we need!

God’s grace and peace to all!
