I came to God so dry today. It’s been a tough weekend. I have felt stretched thin and ready to cry often. I pushed through, kept on trying and finally made it to Sunday night collapsing in bed.<\/p>\n

“And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance,”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This morning (Monday) early -I felt the tug. “Come, get up, and draw from me.”<\/em> I crept to the den, turned on the Christmas tree lights and began to read my Bible. In the quiet I could hear better, think better, humble my heart before our Great God.<\/p>\n

“…so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient<\/em><\/strong> [f<\/em>urnished in abundance for every good work],”\u00a0<\/em>2 Corinthians 9:8<\/p>\n

He always understands.\u00a0The phrases leapt off the page and stuck in my heart. “God is able… in abundance.” <\/strong><\/em>That’s what I need, grace in huge doses for what’s ahead today. Everyday. His amazing grace in me furnishing all I need for every good work.\u00a0I can’t drum it up, but I can tap into it, through Jesus, by His strength and with His promises.<\/p>\n

Thank you LORD for waking me and for Your word –\u00a0Pour it on! I believe You can.\u00a0I believe You will. In Your strength I go, In Jesus’ name.<\/em><\/p>\n
