2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Do we truly believe that God cares for us? We may say that we trust Him, but....

So we work hard to save the money to buy a car, a house, and a quality education for our children. While such planning is not bad, it can become a problem if having our needs met is not enough and we feel that we must assuage all our desires as well.

God our provider promises to supply all our needs. What are our needs? Food, clothing, and shelter are life's most basic needs. Does God provide these? We would probably have to answer that yes, indeed, we have food, clothing, and shelter - that God has provided for us. While He may not have met all our desires, He has indeed met all our needs.

But even more important than God's provision for our physical needs is His provision for our spiritual needs. He has provided grace that is sufficient to fill the longing in our hearts for God. It is by His grace alone that we can come to Him.

Unlike trendy clothes, gourmet food, and fancy houses, grace is free and it is eternal. We don't have to earn it. We can't purchase it. It is offered as a gift. And it is ours forever.
