Memory Verse Challenge: Week 36

Ha Ha!  Tricks on me!  Somebody told me it was Tuesday and I believed them:-)  So - it's Thursday again.  Who knew? This week's verse is another short one.  We've probably all heard it and have even probably sang it a time or two.  So - should be fairly easy.  I like verses that pack a big punch in just a few words.  Can you tell?

God's grace and power are enough to get us through our weaknesses.  Have you ever gone through a period in your life where you just didn't feel very spiritual?  Where you felt that maybe the ugly in you was overtaking the beauty God made you to be?  Have you ever felt that you were barely hanging on to your faith?  The great thing that is reiterated by this verse is that no matter what - God's grace is enough.  His grace covers those moments of faith-struggle.  He understands our struggles and is ever gracious with us.  Then He uses His power to pull us through the tough times and put us back on track. 

And in those times when we feel we cannot possibly do what He asks of us, His power is made perfect in us.  This means our weaknesses are not necessarily a bad thing.  They allow God's glory to shine brightly through us or through our situation so that others may see a glimpse of His greatness.  Awesome.
