Enough
The Source of Enough
Enough: in or to a degree or quantity that satisfies or that is sufficient or necessary for satisfaction
Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the source of all things…
—1 Corinthians 8:6 (AMPC)
Two Names of God
1. Jehovah Jireh
-Means The Lord Will Provide
-He is Capable
2. El Shaddai
-Means The All Sufficient One
-Often Translated as God Almightly
-He has Capacity
The Garden Story: Humanities’ separation from the source of all sufficiency.
And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
—Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV)
Fight the Drift
4 Drifts from the source:
Drift 1: You do the right things
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
—James 1:22 (NIV)
Drift 2: You displace God time
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it–not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it–they will be blessed in what they do.
—James 1:23-25 (NIV)
Drift 3: You deviate from the Word
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
—James 1:22 (NIV)
Drift 4: You detain the Source from others
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
—James 1:22 (NIV)
One More name of God
Alpha and Omega
Means: Beginning and the end
“This is what the Lord says–Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.”
—Isaiah 44:6 (NIV)
He said to me:”It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.”
—Revelation 21:6 (NIV)
