God Is Always Enough
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. Psalm 39:12
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy. Psalm 109:26
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. Psalm 3:3
Have you ever felt like God wasn’t enough? In the midst of life most challenging circumstances; death, sickness, broken relationships, disaster, confusion, endless pain, circumstance after circumstance, after circumstance, after circumstance, after circumstance; it just seems like the anguish won’t stop and the tears just won’t stop falling. I know I can’t be the only person who has felt like God wasn’t enough. If I am the only one then I will encourage myself. THE LORD IS ENOUGH!
It is never easy to get over hurt and pain, and the funny thing is God is the only one in this world who allows you the sufficient amount of time to feel sadness. He is truly empathic, and then sees you through. The Lord understands your pain. The Bible says in Hebrews 4:15, “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” The Lord has felt all our infirmities; including death, but He never turned his back on God (sinned), He never denounced that God was able to deliver Him (sinned); the Lord did not sin in any way shape or form. THE LORD IS ENOUGH!
This world is not short on sorrow or pain. Even as I type the tears form in my eyes for those I love. The things I’ve endured in my life can’t compare to the sadness I feel for those I love who are going through. I wish so badly that I can take away their pain, but even I have recognized that God is the only one who can heal all our pain. God never promised that we wouldn’t have pain, but He promised us a lighter load and rest. Mark 11:29- Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Isaiah 53:5- But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. THE LORD IS ENOUGH!
The Lord loves us. I know that some may question whether or not He loves us in the midst of death, murder, and the evil that seems to rule this world, but I URGE you to believe that the Lord loves US. I can’t explain how the Lord works, but HIS WILL is perfect. I know that maybe these words may not bring you the comfort you need, but put your trust in God! GOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!
