God's Sufficient Grace
God's grace is sufficient for me to overcome any trial or difficulty, and He is always with me to guide and support me.
G. Campbell Morgan emphasizes the profound truth that God's grace is sufficient for every believer, even amidst trials and suffering. He explains that the challenges we face, including the 'stake in the flesh' and messengers of Satan, are not against us but are part of God's divine plan and purpose. These hardships serve as instruments of God's grace, designed to strengthen and discipline us, revealing His love and control over our lives. Morgan reassures that every burden we carry is known to God and is under His sovereign authority, encouraging us to trust in His grace.
Text
"My grace is sufficient for thee." Upon that great word many a weary head has rested; many wounded hearts have been healed by it; discouraged souls have heard its infinite music and have set their lives to new endeavor until they have become victorious. That stake in the flesh, that messenger of Satan, is in My grace. It is part of My method. The stake in the flesh is sent. The messenger of Satan is My messenger. That is not something that is against you, but for you. This hard and difficult and trying circumstance is not something outside My providence, My economy, which you must overcome with My help: it is of My purpose, it is My plan.
I am high enthroned above all the powers of darkness, and to the trusting soul Satan himself is compelled to be a means of My grace.
All your suffering is in My economy. I have poised in My own hand the weight of your burden and know it. Everything that is imposed upon you is under My control. "My grace is sufficient for thee." It is enough for you to know that what you are suffering is part of My discipline, evidence of My love.
