This week the “Wednesday’s Words to Live By” Scripture is from 2 Cor 12:9-10:

9 “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. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (www.biblegateway.com – NIV).

What is grace? It is much, much more than God’s unmerited favor. According to seekgod.org’s web site, “Grace is an undeserved free gift, undeserved favor, and undeserved love. Only through Jesus Christ we are offered grace, a free gift. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Eph 2:8). God has already given us His grace for every situation and circumstance in our lives! God through grace, has already provided everything that we will ever need to live out this life in the natural realm (Phil 4:19 – God WILL supply ALL our NEED according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus). God loved us so much that He sent His only Son to die so we could live! We must accept Jesus to activate our grace! We cannot have grace without Him!

 

Eph 1:3 says:

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ” (www.biblegateway.com – NIV).

 

This week’s declaration:

“I take my faith and accept what God has already provided for me by His grace to live out this life in the nature realm! I put my faith in action by taking God’s grace and applying it to every situation, circumstance, weak area and wherever else it is needed in my life. Father, I thank You that Your grace is sufficient for me! I will never struggle another day in my life! I acknowledge You in ALL my ways so Your grace can direct my life. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen! Amen!
