Text — 2 Corinthians 12: 6-10

Message

Life is not a bed of roses, there are challenges that confront us daily that we are sometimes not prepared for. This was the reason Apostle Paul encouraged the Corinthian brethren that the grace of God was sufficient for them.

Have you tried to do something good and bad things happened? You tried to be honest but got rebuked. The truth is that the road that leads to righteous life is filled with obstacles. Sometimes it becomes so difficult that you would rather quit. But this is not something new. The Bible gives us examples of people who did the right thing and ended up in trouble. It is important to understand the fact that Christians who strive to live righteous life are in direct confrontation with the world.

The Christian life may not be a bed of roses yet we have a great assurance from our Saviour. He promised us His presence. We need to remember this: God did not give us strategy to face the world. He gave us a promise; He did not give a method. He gave us His Son. And He calls us to live and spread His love to the world that is hostile to His righteous standards. As a friend of Jesus, you have nothing to fear, trust in the Lord because His grace is sufficient for you. So, next time you feel like giving up, remember the promise in His word is for you. His grace is sufficient for you.
