The third stanza of Amazing Grace goes like this:
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come:
’tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
Life has its dangers, toils and snares, and I’m sure everyone reading this can relate to past experiences under these three headings. I can, and knowing life at this juncture I’m convinced there are more to come. However, look at what Paul said about those horrible episodes.
2 Corinthians 12:7-9
And 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.
How else can we learn that God’s grace is sufficient?
