GOD'S GRACE IS ALWAYS SUFFICIENT

Where is God's strength displayed? It is in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecution, in distresses for Christ's sake.

When Paul prayed that his "thorn in the flesh" be removed (whatever it was), God was more concerned in Paul having more strength and power through His grace for the ministry.

"Sorry, Paul, the thorn stays, but you will with it have an unfailing supply of my personal grace."

2 Corinthians 12:9 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.

God's answer to all of man's needs is "grace", and God's grace is always sufficient.

God has to bring us all to the point of utter weakness. Unbroken, proud, boasting, self-sufficient, competent people will never know God's full blessings.

Our infirmities are meaningless compared to our survice for God.
