Trust in God's Grace -- He Will Provide the Ticket

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NLT

We can’t begin to understand how God will supply all our needs until we are actually in need. We must not expect to live today by using tomorrow’s resources. We should learn to live just one day at a time. God’s grace is sufficient and His blessings are bountiful. God’s supernatural grace comes at a time when you are ready to receive it and not before. God’s grace will come at the perfect season in your life!

I read a story about Corrie Ten Boom where she was asked how she could continue her strong faith in God with all the sadness and loss that she had experienced in her lifetime. She told the story of how at an early age she learned to depend on her earthly father to provide her with all her needs at the time she needed them. As a young child, she used to travel the railways of Europe with her father. Her father would hold onto her rail ticket until the day of their adventure; even waiting until he saw the lights of the train coming before he would hand her the ticket. There was no need to give Corrie the ticket early because it might get lost. She faithfully waited until the time she needed the ticket, knowing that her father had never failed her. Just as she trusted her earthly father for all the little things, she grew to trust her heavenly Father for the bigger things even more. Corrie Ten Boom reached up for and received her ticket only when her father saw that the train was coming.

Sometimes in life we are asked to carry a burden that seems too heavy to bear. Remember that God’s grace is sufficient enough for everything that comes our way. God will never leave you or forsake you. His grace will always be sufficient in every season of our life; it will come the moment we need it.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 NLT

Have a cup of coffee and listen to the song I have included here by Fee, “Glory to God Forever.” The words he penned remind us that God is our creator, our father, our savior – “Shout and Sing the Greatness of our King… Take my life and let it be all for your glory…” Love this song! Enjoy.

Glory to God Forever
