Sufficient Grace!

In 2022 I came back to a daily devotional which I haven't read for several years. It is as good and "down-to-earth" as I remembered!

Quiet Moments on the Way Home was written by Norwegian pastor H.E. Wisloff during difficult war-time years. That knowledge makes his scriptural meditations have even more impact.

My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness - 2 Corinthians 12:9

Sufficient Grace! Should we not praise God for this?

It is so easy for us to stare at our infirmities until we become blind to the glorious realities of grace.

We who are so aware of our insufficiency are permitted to live in the eternal sufficiency of God’s grace!

Our feelings are not enough, nor our faith, nor our prayers, nor our godliness. But God’s grace is sufficient.

And not only this, but God’s grace is perfected in our infirmities. It transforms the weakness in our lives into peace, victory, courage, and joy. It is to save us, sanctify us and make us useful in God’s service.

We need nothing more, nor do we solicit anything more. We fold our hands and thank Him who loves us and gives us all that we need. God’s grace is our sufficiency!

H.E. Wisloff, Quiet Moments on the Way Home, January 8th
