SUFFICIENT
How this word can dig at the mind. It is the amount need to provide. A special little nudge towards calm.
Yet, how often does our insecurities intrude with worry's knife. It slices at our vision an sufficient doesn't quite seem enough.
God is truly so good at teaching us lessons in that regard. He can take the small amount make it seem to last forever.
Still it doesn't happen all the time. Not an issue we are allowed to control. And there are so many times that the Lord will make things unpredictable.
Not quite the joy of trusting Him. But it is to teach us to never take Him for granted. And when it works with miracles we truly get excited.
It is nice to have something to brag about. Not so much when it is ordinary and lacks surprises.
But the Lord does work through the ordinary. He can make solutions in so many usual ways.
Only problem is if we think we have to have the supernatural. Then it is hard. We can easily ignore the options that are meant to be.
Just part of human nature. This is the time when need those extra little moments of clarity.
To pause and truly listen to His voice. Take the time to honestly assess each situation. To let Him guide and teach.
So easy to rely upon our own thoughts and reason. To decide we know all the answer. They seldom come as we expect.
It is hard to always accept there is more to learn and lean on Him for every supply. But that is the part of that walk we can't ignore.
Would be nice if it ever changed. But it never does. That is the nature of faith. Sufficient is the portion when we are given.
Not the portion we crave. It may never sparkle in our eyes as we crave, but it is the truth we must embrace.
Softly we must trod to the horizon given. Never by just our own strength. His voice ever our wind.
Driving us to our destiny.
