This is one of my favourite portions of scripture and I have made it my prayer. Sometimes, when I get my eyes on 'things' I would like to have, I remind myself of these words all over again, and I trust. I trust the Lord to 'tear for me my portion of bread'. To give me what He feels I need every day and in the days to come. I can trust Him with my future. He knows how big or little a 'piece of bread' I need.
Having said all that, I still have dreams. I dream of some day owning our own home once again. I don't want a large, grand house, just a simple house. A place to call our own. A place to grow old together and see grandchildren come to visit. Yes, I do still have a dream of that. But I can trust the Lord even in this. I can trust Him to someday give us a home of our own, if He feels I need it. But for now I have enough.
I am rich in so many ways: I have a husband and children who love and serve the Lord. I know that my family is 'safe', they will someday be entered into Heaven. What more could I want? I am rich because my needs are supplied by my Father in Heaven. I have food to eat, a roof over my head, a ministry, friends, and so many other blessings that He has heaped on me. I have enough.
If you are caught up in the world's mentality of 'more, more, more', take a moment to read this portion of Scripture once again and mediate on it. Think about it and allow the Lord to plant it in your heart. Trust Him to supplies all your needs and give you the desires of your heart, if your heart is fixed on Him. Keep your eyes on Him and He will never fail you. And you can say 'I have enough'. God bless and keep you.
