"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work." ( 2 CORINTHIANS 9:8)
GOD is ENOUGH. He is our all-suffcient One. He is able to make all things possible for us through His grace! The ORIGINAL word for this grace is "charis" or "free blessing." IT is spontaneous and universal. SO it is in God's adequacy that we find the provision which abounds with every blessing we need. He will keep nothing from us to fulfill His glorious purpose.
FOR what reason are these wonderful gifts supplied? "So that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work." Or, as one writer put it, you will have ample means in yourself to meet each and every situation with enough and more to spare for each cause!
AS we abound in all the lovely gifts of our Almighty God, there should be a natural overflow of grace from our lives. THIS overflow can touch those around us who are in need.
We need to ask God to make our service for Him more abounding. REMEMBER: He is able to equip us with the abilities to meet the task.
Daily WAIT upon Him for His grace.
Be WILLING to be emptied of your own desires and to follow His direction for your life.
Seek WISDOM from Him for each day.
Work WORTHILY of God's high calling through diligence and faithfulness.
ARLISS M. ALLEN
