God never gives us grace in advance. It always comes just when we need it. That’s why people often say, “I could never bear something like that.” Yet when it comes, they not only bear it but they do so with remarkable grace. Truly God’s grace is sufficient, but it does not make things easy, just possible.

“I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations…At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me, ‘My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.’”

— 2 Corinthians 12:9

Lord Jesus, help us to live one day at a time, trusting in Your grace minute by minute. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
