The Sure Word for Today

Day 7: Walking Daily in God’s Grace and Strength

Overcoming your shortcomings is not a destination; it is a daily walk with God. You may have victories today, but tomorrow will still require faith, discipline, and humility. That is why your source of strength must be greater than yourself.

2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that God’s grace is sufficient and His strength is made perfect in weakness. This means you do not have to be flawless to make progress; you just need to stay connected to the One who is flawless.

Daily prayer, reading God’s Word, and staying accountable to others keep your steps steady. When you stumble, grace picks you up. When you feel weak, His strength sustains you. When you feel unworthy, His love reminds you that you are already chosen and empowered.

Your shortcomings lose their power when you continually rely on God’s presence. He turns weakness into testimony, struggles into strength, and limitations into opportunities for His glory.
