Suffering Grace
Woman: My son will need medical care every day.
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Sometimes life can be really hard.
Woman: I just don’t think I can do this.
Nancy: How do you keep trusting God in the middle of suffering? By God’s grace. We know that God saves us from sin by His grace, but after that, His grace helps us to endure even the deepest pain.
The apostle Paul knew what it was like to endure. He suffered what he called, “a thorn in the flesh.” He asked God to take away the problem, but God’s answer was, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
You may be going through a situation that seems beyond the limits of your strength. Well, this is a time to ask God for His grace and His help. We need His grace for our sorrows just like we need Him to forgive our sin.
With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
