When we relate to God we always deal with abundance. God does nothing in half measures! This is also true regarding His grace. The Lord is not miserly when it comes to providing grace to His servants. When we seek to perform a good work that God has asked us to do, we will always find an ample supply of God's grace to sustain us, provided what we are doing is not of ourselves or for ourselves or our own glory and recognition.
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8.
Friends, if we begin to loose heart in the work we are doing, God's grace will uphold us, and His grace will give us the love for God and His people we require in order to continue our work. When we face criticism and are misunderstood, God's grace enables us to forgive our accusers and to sense God's pleasure even when others do not understand what we are doing! When we make mistakes in the work God has appointed us to do, God's grace forgives us, sets us back on our feet, and gives us the strength to continue the work. When we complete the task God gave us and no one expresses thanks or appreciation for what we have done, the Father's grace surrounds us, and He reminds us that we have a heavenly reward where everything we have done in the Lord's service will be remembered. The key to remember in all this is: Are we doing work God has asked us to do, or are we doing our own thing?
God does not promise to provide all we need for our own dreams and projects. He does assure us that, for every good work we attempt, we will never face a shortfall of His grace in order to successfully complete the task God has given us. But, what is the good work? Is it of you for you, or of God for God?
