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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Let us give glory to God for the grace that we have received in Christ. Much is said of God’s grace, and many today take His grace for granted, as if they can easily presume upon His gracious love toward them. Let us do no such thing lest we minimize the true nature of God’s grace and think little of the price that was paid to procure it for us. For God’s grace was purchased at the cost of the Son of God. Through His suffering and death, He won the ultimate victory for all who believe on Him. Let us never think with such insolent minds, but humble ourselves before His Majesty, the LORD Jesus Christ, and receive with trembling hands the gift for which He paid so dearly. I encourage you to read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 for the full context today.
