Daily Bible Verse: 2 Peter 2:9 (NLT)
‘So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials…’
- The most important thing for us to remember is the fact that the Lord knows!
- Not only does He know what we face, but He also has the power to rescue us.
- Trials are a reality, but so too is His knowledge and power to deliver.
- So believe in your faithful Lord and in His unlimited power to save.
Prayer: Lord, today I recognise that You are with me. This knowledge gives me the power to be able to trust You and to know that Your knowledge also means Your power is active in my situation. Amen.

GOD'S RESPONSE: MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU!
December 11, 2020
These must be some of the most comforting words in the entire Bible. My grace is sufficient for you! Other translations say the following:
My gracious favor is all you need!
My grace is all you need!
My grace is enough for you!
But what does this mean? I believe it is simple yet profound. I believe it means that God says: "I am standing with you in this situation. That’s really all we need to know." Sufficient also means enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end. The Greek word for sufficient means "to be content . . . to raise a barrier …… to ward off that which pushes us to one side." I sometimes wish God had said that He would simply remove the situation. Perhaps you have had a similar situation that You wished God would just remove? God’s response was one of: ‘I know what you are facing and I am right here with you, providing you with just what you need at the moment you need it!’
