Grace in the Ordinary

Posted on August 15, 2025 | Southern Asia Adventist Community Church Devotionals

 
Bible Verse
"But he 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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."
— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
 
Ellen G. White Quote
"Our sufficiency is not of ourselves, but of God." — Steps to Christ, p. 63
 
Reflection
Life’s greatness isn’t always found in the spectacular moments.
Often, it’s in the quiet, ordinary days where God’s grace is most visible.
When you feel weak, inadequate, or unnoticed, remember: it is in those very moments that His power shines brightest. The everyday struggles, the unseen sacrifices, and the simple tasks are the canvas where God paints His masterpiece of grace.
You don’t need to accomplish great things to be used greatly.
God delights in humble, faithful steps the daily choices to love, to serve, to endure, to trust. What seems small to us is often sacred to Him.
His grace doesn’t just meet us in our strength; it meets us especially in our weakness, reminding us that our value is not in what we can do, but in who He is through us.
 
Prayer For This Week
Lord, Thank You for Your grace that carries me when I’m weak. Help me to see the beauty of Your power working in my ordinary days. Teach me to trust that in my weakness, Your strength is perfect. Amen.
