More Than Enough
There is a song by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir titled "More Than Enough". I love that song a lot and I was glad I was in my church choir when we sang the song a couple of Sundays ago. Here are the words of the songJehovah Jireh, my provider,
You are more than enough for me
Jehovah Raphah, You're my healer,
by Your stripes I've been set free
Jehovah Shamah, You are with me,
You supply all my needs
You're more than enough,
more than enough,
more than enough for me
The Bible tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every thing else shall be added unto us. We are taught through scriptures to place all our hope in God, to trust Him at all times, to rely on Him and Him alone. I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ in May of 1990, so I have been saved for some time and by the grace of Almighty God, have been walking in His ways and so naturally, I thought I had this "trusting God" thing all settled until recently.
I got a book from the Library titled "The Attributes of God - Volume One – A Journey into the Father's Heart" by A.W. Tozer, this is a must read for every Christian, I tell you. Here is quote from the book
"What is it that makes you happy? What cheers you up and gives your morale a lift? Is it your job? Is it the fact that you have good clothes? Is it that you've married well or have a fine position? Just what is it that brings you joy?"
He goes on to explain in the book that God is the only one that brings us joy. If we put our trust in things, they will never satisfy us because all of the things we trust are beneath God. Which is why we should always put God before all things because no matter what a person has, if they do not have Christ in their life, there will still be a longing in their soul, that is because God wants to be first and all to us. God must be our all in all. According to Tozer
"Money won't do it. If you take the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, God will add money to you - as much as you need. If you take the kingdom of God and His righteousness, God may send your way learning and art and music and other legitimate earthly loves. God may send it all to you and let you have it. But it is always with the understanding that He can take it away again and you won't grumble. You still have God, and God is all" **emphasis mine.
Wow! We Christians have been taught to trust God for this and trust God for that, which is okay, there is nothing wrong with that, But if God is more than enough for us as we claim, if he is our everything as we profess, then we should also understand that if He chooses to take from us that which we had given us, it is okay, because He is more than enough for us.
