Sonday!

2 Corinthians 12:9
But 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.
Psalm 34:5
Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


God's Grace is sufficient for us, but it's sufficiency is for one day at a time. That's why it's essential for us to live in the present.
Our mind so easily slips into the future, where worries abound. We also spend way too much time analyzing the past. Meanwhile, splendors of the present moment parade before us, and we don't even notice. Part of the problem is our tendency to strive for self-sufficiency. God will help us to learn to rest in His sufficiency, depending on Him more and more.
We need God's grace in order to live in the present. Grace is all about God's provision for us, but accepting that goes against the grain of our natural tendencies. Each day we face a number of situations requiring God's help. Moment by moment God pro offers to us the needed assistance. Our part is to recognize our neediness and receive what He offers.
God's Presence is with us always, providing everything we need. So don't worry about tomorrow's needs. God's sufficiency is for a day at a time--today!!
