We all go through times in life when we face trials and tribulations. It’s just part of our walk as believers. However, God never leaves us to face these times on our own. Moreover, He has given us His grace to sustain and help us overcome. God’s grace is sufficient for you!
2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
When it comes to the trials and tribulations we face it’s so important to remember that we are never alone. God is with us every step of the way. And how we respond to trials is critical. Trials and tribulations will either forge us and strengthen us or break us.
HOW SHOULD I RESPOND TO TRIALS?
When hardship and trials come our way we can either respond in a way that leads to life or death. If we respond with anger we will ultimately become bitter and this just leads to death. However, if we choose to respond with faith and receive God’s grace, believing it is sufficient for us, we ultimately overcome and walk in victory.
Remember that when we are weak and come to the end of ourselves, we’re actually in a position of strength. This is because as we lean hard into God we receive His grace and strength and we’re no longer relying on ourselves. We are now positioned to overcome and walk in victory!
Let’s choose to lean hard into God’s grace knowing that it is absolutely more than sufficient for whatever we’re facing. And as we do this in our hardest, weakest moments we will be empowered with His strength and we will walk in victory!
