2 Corinthians 9:8
And
God is able to make all grace abound toward 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 do you think you would 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 supply. We see only the visible, which is
tangible, 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 acknowledging the lack or the problem he sees. He is
more concerned with that which is visible and temporal.
Instead of calling forth, and acknowledging and confessing the
superabundance of God’s grace, he confesses his negative circumstance
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 sprang into visibility. We must call
forth what we want to see. Say, “Father, I thank You that right now,
though my health is under attack, there is superabounding grace
available for my healing and health. I call it forth and receive it now
in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
My friend, don’t be conscious of what you see lacking or missing. Be
conscious of God’s superabounding grace for you and avail yourself of
it!
