Enough

My cell phone is a better preacher than I am, at least it was today. We are presently covered up with plenty of obligations (too many to name) and the future is up in the air right now. Sleep has become increasingly rare and the "get'r done" pile keeps outweighing the "got'r done" pile, I'm sure many of you can relate. But the point of all that is we're not stressing. This is not because we're paricularly mellow people or have the winning attitude, but because God is running the show. If it were all up to me, I would be screaming, "Enough is enough!", but instead it is a quiet reminder that God is "more than enough." When I turn on my cell, that message pops up on the screen and sets things in order... more... than... enough. So in the midst of the unknown and the busyness of life I press the pause button, not because I have lots of time to spare, but because someone else may need this simple reminder as well.

"Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side—leaders whose decrees permit injustice? They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord is my fortress; my God is the mighty rock where I hide." Psalm 94:17-22

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 62:5-8
