God's Superabounding Grace For You

2 Corinthians 9:8

8And God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

If you were in the same synagogue as the man with the withered hand (Luke 6:6–11), how would you see him and what would you say to him?
Jesus was preaching in that synagogue when He saw the man with the withered hand. But He also saw superabounding grace around that hand for healing and wholeness. He sees differently from us. He sees the invisible. He sees that the kingdom of God is here, ever present in any situation, with superabundant supplies. We see only the visible, which is tangible, which is temporal and which seems so real to us.
But Jesus saw superabounding grace on that withered hand for healing because you do not tell a man with a withered hand, “Stretch out your hand,” unless you see the supply, the superabundance for wholeness for that hand. Jesus called forth the superabounding grace to envelop that man’s withered hand, and the hand was made whole.
It is possible for someone who is sick to have superabounding grace on him and yet that superabundance of grace does not heal his body. That is because he keeps on acknowledging what the devil is doing. He keeps being more concerned about that which is visible and temporal.
Instead of calling forth, and acknowledging and confessing the superabundance of grace, he confesses what the devil is doing to him all the time. So even though the superabounding grace is there, it is there in vain. Isn’t that sad?
Jesus called forth life. And life came into visibility. We must call it forth. Say, “Father, I thank you right now, though my health is under attack, I know that there is superabounding grace for healing and health. I receive it now. I call it forth now in Jesus’ name, Amen!”
My friend, don’t be conscious of what you see missing or lacking. Be conscious of God’s superabounding grace for you and avail yourself to it!
