His Grace Is Sufficient for You
Dr. Darrow Perkins
2 Corinthians 12:6-10
There are times in life where it seems like what you have is not enough. One of the things that comes to mind along that line of thought is money – we never seem to have enough to do all the things we “want” to do. However, it does seem like what we have is sufficient to take care of the things we “need” to do. Management of money goes a long way. Food is also something we don’t seem to have enough of sometimes. You may sit down to eat and when you’re done, you feel like the food didn’t hit bottom yet, so you go back and get some more. Sometimes it seems like we just don’t have enough.
When we think of the word “sufficient,” I believe we need to understand what it is and have a grasp of how it works in and for our lives.
The word “sufficient,” means, “being as much as needed.” In other words, it means having exactly what you need to fit your current condition or situation. Having this type of understanding enables us to deal with, go through, and come out of whatever we might find ourselves in.
So, in having an understanding of what sufficient means, I believe we also need to know what it is that is sufficient, and that is the grace of God.
When we look at time, as we understand it, man has gone through several stages of life called dispensations. A quick review of the ages reveals to us that man has lived in the following dispensations:
The dispensation age of conscience which covers the time of man’s creation to the flood of Noah.
The dispensation age of law which covers the time from the flood to the first coming of Christ.
We are currently in the dispensation age of the church or grace, which covers the ascension of Christ and the birth of the church and will continue until the rapture of the church.
There are ages and dispensations to come that man will endure, and the best way to deal with them is by having a relationship with Jesus Christ right now!
