1 Corinthians 15:10, The Grace of God
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
It was the grace of God that enabled the Apostle Paul to labour for the Lord. He testified how God enabled him to go labour on, spend and be spent. God’s favour was with him to make a way for him to do His work. It was effectual. The Apostle Paul not only was enabled to spread the gospel to Asia Minor and Europe leading to the conversion of souls and the formation of churches but he was gifted to write the Scripture.

Thank God for His grace that enables His servants to serve Him. May it be outpoured on God’s servant today for the strengthening of His people and for the leading of souls to find God. Amen.
