Sufficiency


Today I was singing in church and an overwhelming sense of need for God came over me. It hasn't really left but it is something that is different today than before. I hate to see others in pain and not really be able to do or say anything that makes the situation better. I know there are alot of people in my church continually hurting. I see it in their eyes as I look around the room during worship. I see the lonely mother reaching for the glimpse of God's touch today, I see the kid who folds his hands and says nothing, I see the children not sure if they need to be too cool to worship or if they need to just do what their heart tells them, I also see the single girls who aren't sure why they have gotten alittle bitter at God because MR. Right hasn't shown up yet. In all that, the overwhelming sense of NEED for God comes over me once again. I see it not only in the Christians I see every week I see it at work daily. The need for God is so Great and I think that others put an unfortunate title on that, they see it as weakness. My Bible says that: "My Grace is Sufficient for you," lets stop there. I know that isn't the end and I am glad it isn't all to the story even though that should be answer enough. But if God's grace is sufficient enough then why do we hurt? Because we are blinded by the agenda of the Enemy. We seem to go through our days as a means of getting by, but what if we stopped just getting by and actually living. Is that what Sufficiency is? Actual living, I believe that is God's will for us, but like I said the verse isn't over. "My POWER is mad perfect in your weakness." How great is that, so not only does God desire for us to start living in HIS Grace and Sufficiency, but He is going to show us how through our weakness. That just blows me away, so I say lets start living in His sufficiency and learning how to through our weakness. May the God of all Grace and Wisdom bless you today!
