God is so Good!

Sometimes in the midst of papers to write and books to read I forget the reason I am at a Bible college. It is awful to admit, but it is true. I forget that I came to Multnomah to fall more in love with the Lord. I had forgotten how blessed I am in the first place to be able to study God's word and learn more about Him through my classes, homework and the Bible. 


Right now I am so overwhelmed, I have so much left to do and only a week to do it all in! Yikes! But, just like previous semesters, I always get everything done. Maybe not perfectly, but it is done. God is so good in allowing us the strength we need for exactly what we have to accomplish. Yesterday I was reminded about the strength that he provides us in the midst of our busy lives. I was reading from Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology book (which, is way better than what it sounds!) when a passage of Scripture jumped out at me...as if it was God speaking directly to me. It was a strange feeling but after reading it dozens of times, a strange sense of peace came over me and I was relaxed for the first time in the last few days. May it encourage you in the midst of your busy lives as you finish school or as you go into this busy holiday season. 


"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 


Remembering this sweet song by Chris Tomlin as I go back to doing more homework tonight: 


Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I see your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me
