In the natural order of things, one can see God's providence for each created being. When we recognize our inadequacies and our limited understanding of things but submit to God's grace, His infinite wisdom and power will be revealed in our lives. Our weaknesses will be God's channel to bring forth His purpose in us. We will be strengthened through God's grace which is sufficient for our needs.
When God manifests His power in our sin-weakened lives, our spirit is lifted to His throne of grace. He has nothing but love for us and that will never leave us helpless or hopeless. The name of the Lord is strength enough to simply utter it.
We feel empty even when we are stuffed by the things of this world because these worldly treasures don't have lasting impression in our heart and soul. The happiness they bring is temporal not because they are of no value but because they come from a temporal source.
Only by gathering gifts that are eternal and coming from eternal source can give use the feeling of real joy. God's grace is sufficient for all our needs. This is real joy. This is eternal gift. Eternal life coming from an Eternal source which is Jesus.
but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough--always available--regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.
