Enough....HE alone is Enough

“All I have in You, is more than enough. You’re my supply…still more awesome than I know..You are my reward; worth living for..and all of You, is more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and for every need; You satisfy me with Your love and ALL I have in You is more than enough…”—Chris Tomlin


Boy, I needed to be reminded of that today. When the weight and worries of this world, trivial stuff, really, start to wear on my heart and mind, I need to be reminded of how good He is…all that He continually pours out on me…and shamefully, my attitude at times does not reflect that. Forgive me, Lord, for forgetting just how good You have been to me. I don’t deserve any of the blessings You have bestowed on my life.

When I start to look around, and in my simple mind, complain to myself about the worldly things I don’t have, I need to be slapped silly. God so graciously reminds me of all the things He has blessed me with…I don’t deserve any of it. Then, He asks me, “Even if I never gave you one more thing, would you still love and serve Me?” I would have to…because His death on the cross has granted me salvation…to the end that even if everything I hold dear here on this earth was taken from me, my salvation in Him alone, is enough. He is enough…when will I ever get that?

Will I really ever get it? Or will I still clamor for earthly things like: satisfaction with my job, insurance, stuff, school, managing everything just perfectly, holding it all together, keeping the car running, buying the right things at the grocery store, outfitting my kids just ‘so’ so they aren’t outcasts at school or church, keeping up with the latest technical gadget so I don’t seem like I’m living in the 1990s, trying to please everybody, exercising just enough so I don’t feel my backside spreading wider every time I sit down, keeping the house clean, finishing what I start---whether it was a scrapbook I opened 4 years ago, the newest of 4 books on my nightstand, or my degree, pleasing my husband, upholding everyone’s expectations of me, holding back the Truth because of possible earthly repercussions, and the list goes on….does it ever end? Does anyone else ever feel that way, or is it just me? Trying to reign in my super-duper-Type-A, control-freak personality, so it doesn’t completely skew and screw up my spiritual walk is E-X-H-A-U-S-T-I-N-G!!!

THAT is why I must daily spend time, A LOT of time, at His feet….to get my satisfaction in Him, and Him alone….because He is enough…all the stuff of the world will NEVER satisfy, never.
