The Riches Of God's Grace

Too often Christians think all things working together for their good means a ticket to the "good life" -- nice house, nice car, nice everything.

God's view of "good" is not materialistic. His "good" is whatever makes us strong in Him. The Apostle Paul was physically weak in infirmities, reproaches, necessities, persecutions, and distresses -- all for Christ's sake. In spite of it, He was happy.

2 Corinthians 12:10 . . . . for when I am weak, then am I strong.

God gave Paul sufficient grace to bear it.

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.

One day we will rehearse for eternity the exceeding riches of God's grace in our daily lives.
