Your Grace Is Enough

You know, its hard being a soldier of Christ. Its hard to proclaim the Law to people. Its hard to proclaim Christ to people. The task being as hard as it is we face opposition from many other sources. One of them is feelings of inadequacy. We feel as if we don't know enough. OR we feel as if we're not holy enough to tell people. Yes, these feelings are common to me. Especially when I fail God i.e. sin. But really, we're just a drowning man telling another drowning man that there is a lifeboat. The main problem is convincing the drowning man that he actually is drowning.

Today I want to celebrate the song (and accompanying passage of Scripture) that lifts my spirits whenever I feel inadequate.

Your Grace Is Enough is written by Matt Maher and popularized by Chris Tomlin. It is the FIRST song to reach 100 plays on my iTunes! Yeah! Its true. I often need God to lift me up and remind me that despite my failings his grace is sufficient for me.

Great is Your faithfulness oh God
You wrestle with the sinner's restless heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is Your love and justice God of Jacob
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me (x2)

remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Heaven reaches out to us
Your grace is enough for me
God i see your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me
For me

2 Corinthians 12

⁷To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. ⁸Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹But 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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. ¹⁰That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Lord help me boast in my weaknesses for I want Christ's power to rest in me.


I am so poor right now but I will not be ashamed of my poverty. I will boast in it for it forces me to rely on God and God's power will rest on me!
