“His Grace Upon the Works of Your Hands”
 
and God is able
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
 
2 Corinthians 9:8 (CEB)
 
 God has the power to provide you with
more than enough
of every kind of grace.
That way,
you will have everything you need always
and in everything to
provide more than enough
for every kind of good work.
 

 

 

I loved this translation of 2 Corinthians 9:8 but I also love how the word abound is used in other translations.   This particular translation really sums up what the word abound means.   Look closely at the specific words that I have underlined.    To have more than enough…you’ll have everything you need ALWAYS for every kind of good work.  He wants to bless and provide His grace for MANY KINDS of good works!  This scripture just really blesses me. I love meditating on the fact that God is desiring to shower us with His all sufficient grace as we set out to do His will.   He is watching over the MANY KINDS of good works that we have purposed to put our hands to.   He wants to shower our works that are done according to His will with great grace!

 
 
 
Today, look let us look to Him with great desire to be a living example of excellence in all that we put our hands to.  Draw upon His great grace, and wait expectantly for Him to shower it upon you.  It is as we do this that we will demonstrate that He is the God that is more than enough!  We shall be testimonies of being living trees planted by water, yielding fruit, and prospering in every good work!!
 

 

Psalm 1:3 (ESV)

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
