Why is it NEVER enough....

[momof3beans]

    I am sitting here finishing up my devotions for the day, Thinking about the lies I have come to believe, lies that I may not voice or would never admit to. Through today I saw that Acting on the lies brought it out in my life. The biggest one for me was the lie that God is not enough. OH I would never say God is not enough and I would believe God is enough. But what does my actions show? The money issues I've talked about before shows through my actions that I don't believe God is enough. More money will bring happiness, Christmas presents for my kids will bring enough happiness and before I know it I'm in bondage to sin because I didn't ACT on my faith that God is enough.. Chris tomlin says it best in his song called " Enough" .

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You're my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You're the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

   So starting today I take a new step toward releasing Lies that satan has beaten me with... GOD IS MORE THEN ENOUGH... No need to over eat because God is more then enough, no need to buy things to fill a empty whole in my life.. God is more then enough and will fill that empty hole himself.  I am so glad I have a father who loves me and cares for me.

   It says in Psalms 73:23-26  Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel. and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

    Why is it never enough to allow God is fill places in our lives that are hurt or lost. Why must we seek outside sources to begin to feel fulfilled then in turn being decieved and being trapped in bondage from those sources.

     We want God to fix our problems, once we've made our choices... God instead says, " I have a purpose for your problems. I want to use your problems to change you and to reveal my grace and power to the World. That is the Truth and the TRUTH will set you free =).

  So I AGREE with God there is a problem with not believing he is enough

   I ACCEPT Responsibility for the places I am in and the bondage I've placed on my life

   I must then AFFIRM the Truth.. GOD IS REALLY ENOUGH.. Psalms 121, Romans 8:28-39

  I am ACTTING on the truth by being content in what I have, not leaning on material things to replace hurt.

   I have begun ASKING God to help me walk in the truth, to defeat the lies that incircle me.

  I am excited about the freedom God has placed in my life by releasing the bondage that has been placed around me for so long.
