Enough?

Do you have enough for today? Remember Moses during the 40 years of wandering in the desert before entering the promise land, there was a daily provision, with enough for the day.

Could it be God is working in our lives, giving us enough for today, to trust him more. Are we delaying getting into our promised land because we are focused on getting more, instead of enjoying what we have and trusting God for our daily provision?

Are we like the life-guard that is waiting till we pass out before he can go in and save us? Are we through struggling, have we reached our point where we can't go on, and we have to rely on a higher power?

How long will your wandering in the desert last before entering God's best for you? "I know the plans I have for you to give you a hope and a future." Am I delaying God's best for me because of my attitude and actions?

Thought provoking questions for all of us this morning. Do I have food, clothing, shelter, enough money for today? Am I grateful, appreciative, and using what I have been given wisely, or am I stressing, worrying and storing up earthly treasure?

The bible has much to say about this:

Matthew 6: 33"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


Matthew 6:25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Matthew 6:27
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

Luke 10:41
"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things,

Luke 12:11
"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,

Luke 12:22
Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:11,25 Give us this day our daily bread…
Exodus 16:18-20 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had …
Lamentations 3:23 They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.

Deuteronomy 33:25 Your shoes shall be iron and brass; and as your days, so shall your strength be.
1 Kings 17:4-6,14-16 And it shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded …
2 Kings 7:1,2 Then Elisha said, Hear you the word of the LORD; Thus said the LORD…
Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Hebrews 13:5,6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have.....

The beauty of God's grace is, it is never too late to start trusting him. Let today be the best of your life!
