All-Sufficient Grace by John
McDuff God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that
you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to
every good work. 2 Corinthians 9.8 all sufficiency
in all things. Believer, surely you are thoroughly
equipped for every good work. Grace is no scanty thing, doled
out in pittances. It is a glorious treasury, which
the key of prayer can always unlock, but can never empty. It is a fountain, full, flowing,
ever-flowing, overflowing. Mark these three alls in this
precious promise. It is a threefold link in a golden
chain, led down from the throne of grace, by the God of grace,
all grace, all sufficiency in all things, and these to abound. O precious thought, my need cannot
impoverish that inexhaustible treasury of grace, Myriads are
hourly hanging on it, drawing from it, and yet there is no
diminution. Out of that fullness we, too,
may all receive grace upon grace. My soul, do you not love to dwell
on that all-abounding grace, your own insufficiency in everything,
met with a divine all-sufficiency in all things, grace in all circumstances
and situations, grace in all vicissitudes and changes, grace
in all the varied phrases of the Christian's being, grace
in sunshine and in storm, grace in health and in sickness, grace
in life and in death, grace for the old believer and the young
believer, Grace for the tried believer, and the weak believer,
and the tempted believer. Grace for duty, and grace in
duty. Grace to carry the joyous cup
with a steady hand, and grace to drink the bitter cup with
an unmurmuring spirit. Grace to have prosperity sanctified,
and grace to say through tears, May your will be done. God is
able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good
work. 2 Corinthians 9.8
