I do not know if you feel the same as I do but there are so many days when I simply do not feel I am enough. Not enough to meet the needs of those looking to me for help, not enough for the questions that need to be answered, or simply not enough to accomplish the to-do-list that never seems to end. Or maybe, not enough for the work I know God is calling me to do.
Recently our pastor shared from the passage of the feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14:14-21. Jesus faced a hungry crowd with what the world would say was simply not enough. Five loaves and two fish were not enough to even begin to feed a portion of the people that had come to hear the words of Jesus, but wait . . .
Jesus did not waver, he did not falter, he did not fear, he did not turn and run away. He took what the little boy willingly gave and it became more than enough.
It’s not about what I have within me, it’s what I have in Jesus !!!! He is always more than enough, he can take what I willingly give to him though small it may be and he can make it more than enough.
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” II Corinthians 12:9
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
So as we start the new day we can know that no matter what we may face, we are more than enough in him !!! Our strength is not enough, but his is more than enough and he has promised to strengthen us with the power of his might if we come to him !!!
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me,” Philippians 4:13
