Is He Enough?

I am feeling better, a little blue today, not as "yellow" which I guess is a good thing :) My energy is still zapped, even when I try to do the smallest things. It has really made me realize the frailty of our bodies, that we are but dust, but that the Lord is very close to the broken-hearted and those with a contrite spirit as well. Job has been the place where the Lord keeps leading me to read, the 23rd chapter. I am clinging to this promise, that after I have been tested, I will come forth as gold.

It is as if the Lord was speaking to my spirit this morning, "Would you love me if everything else was gone? Your health, possessions, family, dreams? Is knowing who I am enough for you? Is knowing me enough? Is this so great a salvation enough for you, my child?" The revelation of this is both heart-wrenching and glorious all at the same time. To come to the knowledge that He truly is enough is a beautiful gift beyond anything this world can offer. I was overwhelmed in the presence of the Lord this morning, here in my living room, on my knees crying out to Him. He comforted me with these questions to my soul.

I have been perplexed, like Job, as to why these things happen. Yet, we must have faith like Job, and faith that is untested is not faith and will not stand. When everything seems to be directly opposite of what our faith tells us, we need to choose to believe anyway. Our eyes must be upon Him always, upon Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Our lives are solely in His hands. Be lifted up, my friends. God is truly all we need in this life. When we have Him, we have everything, whether we feel that way or not, it is true. God's Word is true and can be trusted for every trial and storm. Cling to Him. Cling to His Word for dear life. We shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb.
