Sufficient

Eric is teaching a series to our Wednesday night college group about tough questions. The current question is Why do bad things happen to good people? During Bible study Wednesday night, Eric shared the following Scripture passage:

2 Corinthians 12:9
9 And He [God] has said to me [Paul], My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Eric and I have not even come close to the difficulties and hardships Paul faced, but God's words said a long time ago to Paul are still relevant today. God's grace was sufficient for Paul, and God's grace IS sufficient for you and me. I may feel weak at times, but God makes me strong!
