Snowstorms, Milk and God's Grace

       Everyone has their own opinion on what is enough for them.  Economically, most people want more and more which seems to be a characteristic of our society.  We don't seem to be satisfied with what we have but always desire to keep getting more and more as if we are not going to be able to get it anymore.  It was very difficult to purchase peanut butter in Spain.  Then, we came to a store that had six small jars of peanut butter.  At first, I wanted to purchase all six of them at once.  I then decided to purchase just one jar.  In the coming months, I still purchased all six jars as no one else seemed to want it.    Snowstorms in our day don't last too long.  The snow storm  tells us that we need to stock up on three things:  milk, bread and toilet paper.  They may lock some of us in for a few hours but we soon find a way to get out and then to get to the store.  However, when the warning comes of an impending storm, people will flock to the store to purchase those necessary "supplies" to last them through the storm as if it was going to last for several weeks.  When it comes to God's grace,  God doesn't stack up a supply of grace for us that is going to be over the need that we will have.  We often pray for more grace but God has already supplied what we are going to get.  Second Corinthians 12:9 says, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."  
     This verse states that God's grace is sufficient.  It isn't too much nor is it too little.  It is sufficient.  That means that it is going to meet every need that we have.  It is going to be enough to get us through grief, pain, suffering,loneliness, worry and whatever emotion we might be having at the time.  It will always be there and we will always be able to look back and see just how God's grace met our need yesterday and all the days before that.  Therefore, will God's grace be sufficient for today's problems and for tomorrow's disasters?  Naturally, we can say, Yes, it will always be sufficient and it will always be there.   We could say that God's grace got us through yesterday and it will get us through today also.   Praise God today for His grace in your lives.
