My Grace is Sufficient

Suddenly as a lightning flash, that text came to me: "My grace is sufficient for thee." (2 Cor. 12:9)
. . .
and I said, "I should think it is, Lord, " and burst out laughing. . . . It was as if some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and Father Thames [the river]said, "drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee."

Or it seemed like a little mouse in the granaries of Egypt, after the seven years of plenty, fearing it might die of famine. Joseph might say, "Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee." Again I imagined a man away up yonder, in a lofty mountain, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I fear I shall exhaust the oxygen in the atmosphere." But the earth might say, "Breathe away, O man, and fill the lungs ever, my atmosphere is sufficient for thee." Oh, brethren, be great believers! Little faith will bring heaven to your souls.

-- John G. Lake, quoting Charles Spurgeon
