Just Enough.

I don't want to say more than I should or go off and sound like I've got it all figured out. But I did want to share something. I saw this video clip on Youtube of Francis Chan (solid man) just talking a 2 min clip about a passage.

Afterwords, I thought about a song "Counting on G" by the Desperation Band. One line in the song says, "[I want] Just enough strength to live for the day". I thought about that and some of my own experience with some other friends experience along with this passage from Proverbs. I thought about how He has given us just enough for the day and sometimes not anymore than we need so at the end of the day, we are spent. I've had a few of these days/weeks where I just wanted to collapse at the end of the day and think, "Man, I've got nothing else." While processing this out with a friend, I thought that "daily bread" does not mean or gaurntee that we live in excess of anything including strength, energy, food, or monetary riches - but that it's always enough. It might not be enough for what we want, but in the end it is and was always was enough.  At the end of the day, don't you want to know that all that you had you spent? I want to collapse across the Finish Line knowing that I gave it all I had and had nothing left...

Today I'm going to thank Him for having "just enough" to complete the task that was set before me for today.
Just enough strength and energy. Just enough patience and love. Just enough fight and rest. Just enough food and water. Just enough mercy and restraint. Just enough forgivness and grace. and Just enough fire and zeal to make it through the day.




P.S. Just enough is not a bad thing. It's a good thing. It shows the amount of control that He's in and proves that it's always enough, even when it doesn't seem to be enough.
