Each time we face trials, God is always faithful. He always provides enough GRACE for the day. Paul who was caught up to the third heaven proclaimed, “…lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corin. 12:7-9) God will always supply enough of what we need, when we need it. Not a minute too soon, and never a minute late. WE SERVE AN ON–TIME GOD. “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of God’s hand, Measured heaven with a span And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales And the hills in a balance? WHO HAS DIRECTED THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD?” (Isa. 40:12-13) No one, anywhere, has any kind of ability to direct God’s Spirit!
“To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of HIS might And the strength of HIS power; NOT ONE IS MISSING.” (Isa. 40:25-26) God has the unique divine ability to care for each and every one of us! “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither FAINTS NOR IS WEARY. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives POWER to the weak, And to those who have no might He INCREASES STRENGTH. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who 1WAIT on the LORD Shall RENEW their strength; They shall MOUNT UP with wings like eagles, They shall RUN and not be weary, They shall WALK and not faint.” (Isa. 40:28-31) 1qâvâh: to bind together by twisting. Like making a rope.
This implies an INTIMATE relationship with God where we love Him with our all, knowing that He loves us as well.
