More Than Enough

In an all too often "gimme-gimme" and "buy me-buy me" time of year where marketing geniuses emphasize that our Christmas is not complete without "the perfect gift" and "that special someone" to kiss under the mistletoe...it's easy to get caught up in the mindset that we are missing something. I'll admit that it does get a little daunting sometimes to RSVP for "party of one" to invite after invite for an entire month. And the shopping malls with their super sales make it hard for a shopaholic like me to resist.

But I constantly must remind myself that these "necessities" are of this world...and I am not. There is nothing I need that God will not provide, on His time and His terms. Although I can only see the small picture, I choose to trust in an all-knowing God who knows the WHOLE story, and who knows the desires of my heart. To quote John Piper, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisified in Him."

Lord, it is my prayer that no matter what this world tempts me with - I will always find my fulfillment in you alone.

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

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 see
YOU are more than enough for ME.

"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4
