"My grace is sufficient for you." It is now sufficient. You are buffeted by this evil spirit, but My grace is sufficient for your present need.Paul, you have been beaten with rods, stoned, shipwrecked, and in perils often—and in all these My grace has been sufficient; and now I tell you this present trouble, though it is somewhat different in shape from the rest, is nevertheless such as I am well able to meet. My grace is sufficient for you in this also. The nearness of an object increases its apparent bulk, and so the affliction under which we are at present laboring seems greater than any we have known before. Past trials appear when we have passed them to have been small things compared with present troubles, and therefore the difficulty is to see the sufficiency of grace for present and pressing afflictions. It is easy to believe in grace for the past and the future, but to rest in it for the immediate necessity is true faith.
