“When I’m Not Enough”

Pastor Josiah Nordgren

April 13-14, 2024

Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭7b‬-‭8‬ (‭NIV)

Brokenness is the killer of self-sufficiency.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9a‬ (‭NIV)‬‬

Your brokenness makes room for Him to move.

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9b-10‬ (‭NIV)

God’s strength allows me to endure while He works on me.

“My grace is sufficient for you…” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9a‬ (‭NIV)‬‬
