Your Grace is Enough

Isaiah 7:9b If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.

I was reading through my favorite book tonight, Isaiah and this really stood out to me. Through out these past few days my eyes have been opened to a lot. I have realized that everything does fade away and all that matters is where we stand and if we are standing on Gods promises then we will not be shaken. We serve a God of covenant. Although we as humans have distorted covenant whether it be in marriage or even just throwing out an "I promise," God does not change and He will always remain true to His word. Never doubt anything He says because He will not let you down. That leads me to the biggest thing I have learned with my time here at YWAM so far. Gods grace. So simple, such a common phrase, but if you take the time to dwell on how amazing and how great it really is then we get a glimpse of how big our God is that we serve!
In 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Dwell on that for a moment.
Looking at the verse as a whole you get the overall feel that yes, God has grace and He has extended that to me but look deeper...
My grace is SUFFICIENT for you. Sufficient is saying that it is enough, and He will give us what we need to get by. We don't have to ask for some huge, insurmountable amount of grace. He meets us where we are. Then, if getting His grace wasn't enough, He encourages us that where we are at our weakest and lowest, that is where His power alone is made perfect! Do you see how God can make even our worst absoulutely amazing?
Last week our speaker told us that our prayer should be, "God, give me the grace today to trust you completely." I loved that. Each day has decisions and obstacles but if we ask for that amount of grace we need to get by every morning then we have nothing to worry about.
God's grace has blown me away. The Creator, Savior, and Author of everything is willing to reach out in our individual struggles to say, take heart because where you are weak, I am strong! Today take the opportunity to delight in weakness because just when you drop your head, Gods hand is right there to lift it and make His power known.

I'll be writing more soon but this was on my heart. Love you all!
