ABOUNDING GRACE
Abounding Grace
2 Corinthians 9:8
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”
There is something deeply comforting in the words “God is able.” Not that God might provide, or could provide, but that He is able to provide.
Paul reminds us that God is not limited by our circumstances, our resources, or even our understanding. He is fully capable of making all Grace abound toward us.
Abound means to overflow, to be in great supply, or to increase beyond what is merely enough.
Notice the rhythm of this verse: all grace… always… all sufficiency… all things. God’s provision isn’t seasonal or selective.
The very things we are asking him for this year, was available last year.
He supplies what we need for every moment, every calling, and every challenge.
Sometimes that provision comes in the form of financial help, sometimes emotional strength, sometimes wisdom, peace, or endurance.
Grace takes many forms, but it always arrives right on time.
However, this verse doesn’t stop with what God gives, it moves into what we are called to do with what He gives.
God supplies so that we may abound to every good work. In other words, His grace is never meant to end with us. It flows to us, but it is intended to move through us.
This is where responsibility enters the picture. God provides the “Enough” part, but we must choose the response.
We decide whether His grace turns into gratitude, obedience, generosity, and service, or whether we simply receive it, keep it, and move on.
Grace empowers us to live outwardly focused lives, not self-contained ones.
Every good work doesn’t have to be something grand or public.
Sometimes it’s a quiet word of encouragement, a prayer for someone who may never know it, a moment of patience when it would be easier to react, or maybe it’s a willingness to show up for someone when no one else will.
These small acts matter deeply to God because they reflect His heart.
When we live this way, God is glorified and people around us are strengthened.
You see, His grace becomes visible through our actions. Others see hope, kindness, and love not because we have it all together, but because God has been faithful to supply what we need.
So today, rest in this truth: God will provide. Then ask yourself a simple question, What will I do with what He’s given me? Grace received is a blessing. Grace shared becomes a testimony.
