Grace is a gift that most of us don't know how to receive.

We've been so inundated with the earthly systems of giving it and work and earn that grace

is a concept few ever fully grasp.

And yet it's grace alone that has the power to transform lives.

Grace alone has the power to bring freedom to the captives.

By grace alone, we are saved.

Today, we're launching a new series,

taking time every day to discover and receive the grace of our good

and loving Father. Welcome to the first of team podcast.

Thank you. Our verse for today comes from 2 Corinthians 12, verse 9, where Scripture says,

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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

It seems like every day I discover new ways in which I am weak and in need.

Whether it be sin, physical exhaustion, or emotional dependence, I'm constantly discovering my need for help.

But daily, I also discover a God who is wholly sufficient in all the ways that I'm weak.

Daily, I receive rejuvenation from my Heavenly Father,

who seems to take these weaknesses of mine and use them for his kingdom.

Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 129, our verse for today, but God 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 of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. What great comfort we can find

in the words of Paul here, and what amazing love our Heavenly Father has for us,

that he would bestow his sufficient grace upon us.

We serve a God who turns our greatest weakness
