God has given to us a precious promise smothered in His grace – like links of a gorgeous golden chain out of His boundless treasury of ever-flowing grace.
“…God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:8 (Berean Study Bible)
Mark these four ALL’s, “all grace”, “all things”, “all times”, and “all that you need”, abounding to you. The number four represents universality, so you are thoroughly covered by God’s all-sufficient grace, His grace is all that you need (see 2 Corinthians 12:9).
God does not give grace in meagre amounts, He lavishes His grace upon you, for it is from a treasury that can never be emptied – His Throne of Grace from where you find help in your time of every type of need (see Hebrews 4:16).
Beloved, your need can never exhaust God’s precious grace. It is from His fullness, through Jesus Christ, that you have received “grace upon grace” (John 1:16). Your own insufficiency in everything lovingly met with all-sufficiency in all things and at all times. Meditate on that a while.
You have received grace for all circumstances and in all situations – in health and in sickness; in times of peace and times of war; in sunshine and storm; in life and in death. Grace for every believer, the mature believer, the baby believer, tempted, happy, sad, rich, poor, over-worked, and the weak.
Grace to say, even through the tears, “Your will be done Lord”.
Amen†
Mark these four ALL’s…Shelley Johnson 14-Jul-2016
