Is God's Grace Enough?

God knows our need and promises to provide for them. We are to trust him with an attitude of thanksgiving and find contentment in what we are given.

There are times when the one thing you want is the one thing you never get. You're not being picky or demanding; you're only obeying his command to "Ask God for everything you need" (Philippians 4:6). All you want is an answered prayer, for which you will be thankful. And so you pray and wait...No Answer. You pray and wait...No Answer. You pray again and wait...and still No Answer. Here's a question to ponder...What if God says no? What if the request is delayed or even denied?   When God says no to you, how will you respond? If God says, "I've given you my grace and that is enough." will you be content?

CONTENT...A state of heart in which you would be at peace if God gave you nothing more then he already has. Test yourself with this question: What if God's only gift to you were his grace to save you? Would you be content? So often we see those who plead with him for the life of a child or to keep a business afloat. They implore him to remove cancer from their bodies. What if his answer is, "My grace is enough"? Would you be content?

You see from Heavens perspective, grace is enough. If God did nothing more than save us, could anyone complain? If God saved our souls and then left us to spend our lives on a deserted island, would he be unjust? Having been given eternal life, dare we grumble about anything? Having been given heavenly riches, dare we bemoan our earthly poverty.?

Let me be quick to say....God has not left us with "just salvation". Yes...he as saved us but he has also blessed more then we can see. There are those time when God, having given us his grace, hears our appeals and says, "My grace is sufficient for you".

Take a few moment and make a mental list of how God has provided for you in the past. Use that as the basis for recognizing how he will provide for your needs in the future. Instead of complaining or worrying, take your requests directly to the Lord and rest contently in knowing His Grace is Enough.
