What a week it has been. Have you seen the hand of God in the last week? I can tell you with all sincerity that I have seen God at work in many ways. The last week has been difficult in our community and in my ministry, yet through this difficulty, God reigns!
How about you? What is going on in your life that has you wondering how much more you can take? Are you at a place where you are thinking to yourself or maybe even telling others, I just can't take anymore! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! When will it stop? Maybe you are wondering what it is that God is trying to teach you through this season of your life. Maybe you are wondering if God even cares. I pray this is not the case, but maybe you are wondering if God even is...
I can assure you, God most definitely is! He is and He cares. He cares about you more than you can imagine. He knows everything going on in your life, the good, the bad and the ugly! Ecclesiastes 7:14 tells us that He made the good days and the bad! His desire is that we run so hard and so fast toward Him that we cannot be deterred by the circumstances of life.
See, Enough is Enough is the right attitude. Enough is Enough is exactly the mindset we should have. But we need to have it in the right context...
In 2 Corinthians chapter 12 Paul is talking about this thorn in his flesh that God allowed in order to keep him humble. See, Paul was an incredible man of God who was devoted to sharing the Gospel and suffered greatly for his devotion to Christ. He pleaded with God to remove this thorn and I am reminded about how we ask God to take away the bad things in our lives. We ask Him to deliver us from the struggles we face and stop the pain and suffering we experience. His response to Paul in 2 Corinthians chapter 12 is the same response He has for us today... Enough is Enough! When Paul pleaded for the 3rd time to have this thorn removed Jesus said (Verse 9), "My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in weakness" See, His grace is enough for you and I! And enough IS enough. Be encouraged, the Jesus that spoke to Paul wants to speak into your life today and help you be victorious in your struggles! He wants you to cast your cares upon Him! Enough IS Enough! My challenge to you this week is to read 2 Corinthians chapter 12 1-10 and ask God to speak to you. Are you spending time with Him daily? Are you seeking His will for your life? I am praying that you do!
Waiting on Him,
ML
