The Age Old Question, "Is God Enough"?

One of the biggest temptations

of the human heart

and one that needs not much coaxing

to bring the answer into existence,

"Is God Enough?"

You see, it was the sly question 

that brought about a reaching for more

in it's response.

It began in the garden of Eden

as a snake stirred it up.

"Did God really say....?"

Was it enough to simply know God

in the cool of the day

or were you missing out

on something else besides?

"You could know good....,"

as if that was enough of a reason

to partake of something besides their God.

It is a good thing right?

"....and evil." 

What was that the snake just said?

"Am I missing out on something?"

The temptation begins forming thoughts.

"Is God hiding something from me

and am I just too naive sitting here

and simply trusting Him?"

"Maybe my husband knows something

I don't know?  He was here on earth

before I was?" 

Eve could have contemplated so much.

There is that temptation to look beyond,

to wonder what's out there

especially when you see others 

thriving and applauded as they pursue 

their own happiness and 

the American dream.

"Did God really say....?"

When the snake whispers words

such as these into your ear,

remember Adam and remember Eve.

They both had God walking with them

each and every day.

They had it all.

The snake who speaks the language

called "lie" is only a detractor from God

and never adds anything to Him.

In your struggle each day,

remember whose you are 

and who He is.

He is enough.

His fullness is yours.

His Kingdom is come in you

as you continue to believe Him

and walk with Him daily.

No, you won't miss out on anything.

Knowledge of good and evil

is something God alone can sort.

Isn't it enough to have our heart set

in one place?  On Him?
