We've all heard it so many times we don't even think about it. God is sufficient. For what? My every need. My grace is sufficient for thee (2 Cor 12:9). But do we actually believe this? Do we believe it in every area of our lives? Do we live as if it is true or do we go around trying to fulfil our own needs? Do we trust God to provide for us?
This is a subject he keeps bringing me back to again and again, so I'm beginning to get the idea that perhaps it's just a little bit important. Maybe.
It seems to be becoming quite a large topic in my head so I think this will turn into a series of posts. So far the questions/points I'm planning to look into are these:
What does 'sufficient' mean?
Is God sufficient and does he always come through?
What if he hasn't come through?
Can he really provide in every area of my life?
Letting go and trusting him to be enough.
I realise that some of these sound quite similar, and of course they will overlap a bit but each has been raised in me by a slightly different line of thought. I also want to say at this point that this (and my blog in general) is not going to be some 'got it all together, I have the answers, Jesus loves me let's all just be happy' put it in a nutshell kind of thing. I think I am more about questions than answers, and I am still struggling and wrestling with a lot of the things I will be dealing with in this series. There's a reason he keeps bringing me back to it, and it's not to remind me of how great I am!
