2 Corinthians 9:8 Is a great promise from God's word. "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work."
This is an encouragement to those of us who feel overwhelmed, and like we don't have any more to give. We can turn this promise into a prayer: God make all grace abound to me/us so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times I/we may abound in every good work.
We are a needy people and this Scripture shows us where our sufficiency must come from. Not from ourselves, but from God. God can give us the strength, energy patience, or even the resources we need. Remember what he did with five loaves of bread and a few fish.
It also shows us the direction our lives should be directed in. God doesn't give us the sufficiency we need so that we can feel good about it and serve ourselves. It is so that we can abound in every good work.
I hope as individuals, as families, and as churches we will call upon God for this and with the sufficiency from God (see also 2 Cor 3:5) we would abound in service.
