A Wonderful “Sip” from “Coffee with the Lord”

A “sip” from my “Coffee with the Lord” Bible reading… A wonderful assurance in trying circumstances from our Faithful God:

But He [the Lord] said to me, “MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 ESV)

But ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’ [quote from Jeremiah 9:24] For not the person who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends!” (2 Corinthians 10:12, 17-18 ESV)
