In your times of trouble, you have the opportunity to see God's grace at work in your life. If we never had any problems, we may be tempted to believe that we could live without God's grace.
What is God's grace? It simply means God's favor. It's unmerited favor. We don't deserve it. We could never earn it. God is gracious. He delights in giving His favor. God's grace gives you salvation in Christ. God's grace also gives you favor from God to conquer in your times of trouble. God says to you, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Grace may not cause all your trouble to go away. It will give you God's favor and strength to get through times of trouble. As a believer, He will always give you strength sufficient for every trial and trouble. Do you have trouble today? Remember, God's grace or favor is sufficient for every trial without exception.
Ask for God's grace through your times of trouble. He will give you strength through His grace. Your times of trouble will give you the opportunity to experience His strength. He is not reluctant to give you grace. You may consider your times of trouble unbearable. It certainly could be without God's grace. His grace brings mercy, new found strength, favor with God and man. Grace comes that "the power of Christ may rest upon you" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
