My Grace is Sufficient
We should not presume on the future. We should plan, but keep in mind that God has the option to change those plans at will. God's Word warns us to approach life with the idea that if God is willing we will fulfill our plans. So far, this year has turned out to be nothing like I had planned. Frankly, it has been one trial after another since the day after Christmas. But that's o.k. God's grace is sufficient. I know that my only responsibility is to just be faithful. One of the trials I have faced this year is the crisis in Haiti. I vividly remember my time there several years ago. I remember the extreme poverty, the sweet spirit of the Haitian Christians, and their openess to the Gospel. I remember that 54 Haitians came forward in the invitations for salvation after I preached each night. I know that Haiti was in no way prepared for the devastation that befell them with a 7.0 earthquake. Very little worked right in Haiti with the best of conditions. Some are estimating that 500,00 could be killed. They will probably never have an accurate death toll. But, with all this, I also know that God's Word says, "my grace is sufficient for thee". God's grace is sufficient for any situation.
