ACE #196: A Little More Jesus

I need just a little more Jesus. Yes, this is a song by Erica Campbell. But, it is also true for me. I need a little more Jesus daily. The devil is busy. But Paul said he had thorns in his flesh that he asked The Lord to remove three times. However, The Lord told Paul, "My grace is sufficient. My power is made perfect in your weakness." Afterwards, Paul said he would boast about his weakness. 

Friends, sometimes life throws situations and conditions at us that has the potential to make us respond out of character. That is if we let it. When it happens, and it will, ask for a little more Jesus. His grace is sufficient. Don't respond like you want to. Get a little more Jesus and move on. When we realize we need just a little more Jesus, we will stop acting like we don't know better. 

I need just a little more Jesus to help me along the way.

2 Corinthians 12

Paul’s Vision and His Thorn

12 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. ² I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. ³ And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— ⁴ was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. ⁵ I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. ⁶ Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, ⁷ or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. ⁸ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
