My Grace is sufficient for Thee

Today, I wanted to share an entry from "Streams in the Desert" by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman.  For those of you that don't have it or have never heard of it, I highly recommend it!  It's a wonderful devotional and it has an uncanny way of knowing exactly what you're going through that day to feed your soul :)

The other evening I was riding home after a heavy day's work.  I felt very wearied, and sore depressed, when swiftly, and suddenly as a lightening flash, that text came to me, "My grace is sufficient for thee."  I reached home and looked it up in the original, and at last it came to me in this way, "MY grace is sufficient for thee"; and I said, "I should think it is, Lord," and burst out laughing.  I never fully understood what the holy laughter of Abraham was until then.  It seemed to make unbelief so absurd.  It was as though some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and Father Thames said, "Drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee."  Or, it seemed after seven years of plenty, a mouse feared it might die of famine; and Joseph might say, "Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee."  Again, I imagined a man away up yonder, in a lofty mountain, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I fear I shall exhaust the oxygen in the atmosphere," but the earth might say, "Breathe away, O man, and fill the lungs ever, my atmosphere is sufficient for thee."  Oh, brethren, be great believers!  Little faith will bring your souls to heaven, but great faith will bring heaven to your souls.  C. H. Spurgen

 "His grace is great enough to meet the great things---The crashing waves that overwhelm the soul,The roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless,The sudden storms beyond our life's control.
His grace is great enough to meet the small things---The little pin-prick troubles that annoy,The insect worries, buzzing and persistent,The squeaking wheels that grate upon our joy."Annie Johnson Flint

I continue to pray that God sustain me as I am here in Texas.  It has been very tough spiritually as I have not been surrounded by a body of believers like I am used to.  As a result, the Lord has drawn me closer to Him and has brought me to my knees (literally) more often than ever before.  He has reminded me that He is my source of strength and has taught me the blessing of Fellowship and friendship with those that share the same faith.  I have taken those for granted and I know I will appreciate being surrounded by fellow believers once I return to Georgia.

In the meantime and always, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my powers are made perfect in weakness.'  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."  2 Corinthians 12: 9
