2 Corinthians 12 IN GODS GRACE Paul had been given some amazing visions that were to give him hope and motivation through his life. These visions were so great that there was a chance that Paul could become big headed about the fact that the Lord had chosen to reveal them to him. So to prevent any conceit on the part of Paul, he was also given a thorn in his flesh, a messenger of satan to torment him. (2 Corinthians 12 v 7). So while Paul was given such great revelations, he was also given some equally bad troubles so that he couldnt boast and proudly say that he was more special than anyone else. As he asked for the troubles to be removed, Paul was given this answer: My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (v 9). It was grace that gave Paul the visions. It was also grace that gave Paul the problems. And it was grace that said to Paul that no matter what Paul thought, Gods best was the best for him. Gods best, good and bad, were what made Paul the great man he was. Gods grace is sufficient for us too. His grace in our lives might be good things, and it might be things we dont like or that restrict us. Either way, God knows best. Lets rest in his grace knowing that he is working for our best to show his glory. May Gods grace fill our lives this weekend. With love in our Lord Robert
