The God Who Is Enough

"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken." (Psalm 62:5-6)
Scripture Focus: Psalm 62

Do you know someone you would characterize as a godly person? Have you noticed how amazingly uncomplicated his or her lifestyle is? The person may have a full schedule with many heavy responsibilities. Trials may be almost overwhelming. Still, instead of stress and tension, you see calmness and simplicity.

The reason is apparent as we reflect on today’s verse. When we look to God to be the source of our rest and the solution to our fears, we discover that He is enough! We do not have to be slaves to worry. We can stop searching for people who will listen to our endless rehearsal of trivial problems. We can look to God alone and discover day by day that our trust has not been misplaced.

Something is lost. Tell Him. You suffer from burnout. Tell Him. Disappointment shatters your dreams. Tell Him. Does this seem too simplistic? Try making the Lord your source of inner rest and strength. See if He does not prove to be far more than you could have thought or even desired!

Insight: Have you tried to lean on the Lord while you are also relying on earthly props? Ask God to reveal Himself to you as the God who is enough.
