哥林多後書十二章6-9節
神的小僕人

經文:
6 我就是願意誇口,也不算狂,因為我必說實話,只是我禁止不說:恐怕有人把我看高了,過於他在我身上所看見所聽見的。
7 又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大,就過於自高,所以有一根刺加在我肉體上,就是撒但的差役要攻擊我,免得我過於自高。
8 為這事,我三次求過主,叫這剌離開我。
9 他對我說:我的恩典夠你用的,因為我的能力,是在人的軟弱上顯得完全,所以我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。

保羅作為基督耶穌的僕人,曾得過特別的啟示,但他卻明白,這沒有什麼值得他誇口的;反之保羅告訴我們,他身上有一根刺,是撒但的差役用來折磨他的,但在這困難中保羅得着上帝更大的安慰和啟示。神應許保羅祂的恩典夠用,祂的恩典是在人的軟弱上顯得更完全,所以保羅願意誇自己的軟弱,因為這軟弱顯明了基督的恩典和保護。

世上萬事萬物都不是我們可以抓住的,恩典是我們唯一可以抓着的,我們的氣息與生活都在神的恩典之下。今天我們除了基督的恩典,還有什麼可誇口的呢?

禱告: 神啊!我們是軟弱的,祢的恩典卻是完全的,祢的恩典夠用。求主保守我們,務要恆久住在神的恩典中。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們。

2 Corinthians 12:6-9

Paul had a special vision from the Lord which he did not boast. He recognized that he had a thorn in his fresh which was an attack from satan to torment him. Yet through his weakness, God comforted him saying, “my grace is sufficient, for my power is made perfect in your weakness.” Paul thus boast how weak he was rather than his gifts, for through weakness he experienced the power of God.

Life is fragile and uncertain. We are weak for nothing is within our control. Yet our Lord promises us that His grace is sufficient in our weakness. So what else can we boast except for the grace and love of God?

Lord Your grace is sufficient. We are weak but Your grace is perfect and is always around us.
