Our sufficieny. [2 Corinthians 3v5 ]

The Christian life presents us all with a tremendous challenge ,it is on going we cant put our feet up, and say thats it ,I have arrived, no its onward ever onward.As I look at the beginning of another year, I feel a bit overwhelmed, how am I going to make it?, life has so many pitfalls, I ask the question who is sufficient?,who indeed,well the great apostle Paul felt this way[2Corinthians 2v16]. Yes even the great men struggle, it is no good us saying, as we may, its alright for that person ,they dont have to contend with the things I have,yes they may not have to,but you dont have to contend with what they have to contend with. The fact of the matter is,we all have to contend with something, we are all in the same boat,so how are we all to cope?well writes Paul, our sufficieny is of God.[ 2 Corinthians 3 v5] . As we [in the words of the hymn] wrestle on towards heaven, gainst storm,and wind,and tide,let us not wrestle in our own strength, but in the strength of the Lord,let us draw daily on the grace of God,and let us trust totally in the word of God. [ Dear God help us , strengthen us, uphold us, guide us, enable us to face life with all its difficulties, we ask this in the name of Jesus . Amen ]
