Water It!

Let God Be Enough!

They don’t know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good. They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace.
Isaiah 59:8 New Living Translation Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.

No soul can be really at rest until it has given up all dependence on everything else and has been forced to depend on the Lord alone.

As long as our expectation is from other things, nothing but disappointment awaits us.

Feelings may change, and will change with our changing circumstances; doctrines and dogmas may be upset;

Christian work may come to naught; prayers may seem to lose their fervency; promises may seem to fail;

everything that we have believed in or depended upon may seem to be swept away, and only God is left, just God, the bare God, if I may be allowed the expression; simply and only God. Quote By: Hannah Whitall Smith

Enough By Jeremy Camp

Let God Be Your Enough!

Nothing and no one is holy like God, no rock mountain like our God. Don't dare talk pretentiously– not a word of boasting, ever!

For God knows what's going on. He takes the measure of everything that happens. The weapons of the strong are smashed to pieces, while the weak are infused with fresh strength.

The well-fed are out begging in the streets for crusts, while the hungry are getting second helpings. The barren woman has a houseful of children, while the mother of many is bereft.

God brings death and God brings life, brings down to the grave and raises up. God brings poverty and God brings wealth; he lowers, he also lifts up.

He puts poor people on their feet again; he rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope, Restoring dignity and respect to their lives– a place in the sun!

For the very structures of earth are God's; he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation. He protectively cares for his faithful friends, step by step, but leaves the wicked to stumble in the dark.

No one makes it in this life by sheer muscle! God's enemies will be blasted out of the sky, crashed in a heap and burned. God will set things right all over the earth, he'll give strength to his king, he'll set his anointed on top of the world!
1 Samuel 2:5-7 The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

God sent Elijah to the brook and it dried up. It did not prove equal to the need of the prophet.

It failed; God knew it would; He made it to fail. "The brook dried up."

This is an aspect of the Divine providence that sorely perplexes our minds and tries our faith.

God knows that there are heavenly whispers that men cannot hear till the drought of trouble and perhaps weariness has silenced the babbling brooks of joy.

And He is not satisfied until we have learned to depend, not upon His gifts, but upon Himself.
