More Than Enough

We must rest fully in the sufficiency of Christ. To say He is more than enough is a step toward victory over temptations and other life struggles that otherwise would lead us astray.

Naturally, it's easy to resort to a human touch of comfort rather than perceive by faith that God can soothe our trouble hearts. Or we may be tempted to visit certain places that offer some relief rather than run to the prayer closet to cry out to Him for help. Beloved, there is nothing wrong with comfort of family or friends for God will use this to help and encourage us. But as long as we are depending on others to cheer us or fill our empty spaces we will never know the liberating truth that God is more than enough.

And that is why Proverbs 3:5 tells us to "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" (NIV). Human comfort and strength can only do so much before it is exhausted or fails. And given our fallen nature we have to admit the comfort of the world or others will never be enough.

I believe it brings great pleasure to the heart of God that we seek Him first before making another call, texting or emailing someone for encouragement and comfort. We got to believe He is more than enough to satisfy our hungry and aching souls! This will be a challenge for some who say I have prayed and nothing happens or things just went from bad to worse.

Beloved, that is when we must press into Him as the woman who suffered from years of internal bleeding. She crawled on the dusty streets navigating around the hundreds of pairs of dirty feet of those that tightly pressed against Jesus. She weakly stretched out her hand so that her finger tips may touch His robe. Such was a desperate act of woman who was greatly marginalized and dismissed as being unclean and unwanted by those of religious standing. She didn't even tugged at his clothes but through faith pulled power out of Christ that He spun around and demanded who touched Him.

When we press past our emotions and thoughts that would argue that God couldn't possibly touch the most deepest places in our hearts we will find a door swinging wide to take us straight to the throne room of the great King. Like Esther we stretch forth our hands and touch the golden scepter of grace to take us in where we find He is more than enough - to give us more than what we can ever imagine.
