Opening Verse
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
—2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
Introduction
Sometimes in life, we feel like we don’t have enough—whether it’s money, energy, or even faith. But God reminds us that His grace is always enough for us, even when we feel like we’re lacking something important.
Devotional Story
There was a man named Kingston who often felt like he wasn’t doing enough. He worked hard at his job, took care of his family, and even volunteered at church, but deep down he always felt like something was missing.
One Sunday, after a tough week, Kingston sat in church listening to the pastor talk about the Last Supper. The pastor explained how Jesus took a cup of wine and said, “
This is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20, KJV).
As Kingston listened, he suddenly realized something—he didn’t need to be perfect or have everything figured out. God had already given him what he needed through Jesus.
Even though Kingston didn’t feel like he had everything, God’s grace was enough. It covered all his mistakes and shortcomings. Kingston finally understood that he didn’t need to work so hard to feel “good enough.” God’s grace was more than enough for him, even when life was tough.
What This Means
We often think we need more to be happy or to feel complete. But God’s grace is always enough. Even when we feel weak or like we’re missing something, God steps in and gives us exactly what we need.
Think About This
Have you ever felt like you didn’t have enough or that you weren’t good enough? Remember, God’s grace is always there for you, filling in all the gaps and giving you strength. Think about the times when God’s grace has carried you through difficult moments.
Prayer
Dear God, thank You for reminding me that Your grace is enough. When I feel weak or like I’m missing something, You fill me with Your strength. Help me to trust in Your grace and know that I don’t have to do it all on my own. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Closing Verse
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
—Matthew 4:4 (KJV)
