Sometimes it feels like we don’t have enough. There’s not enough time. Not enough money. Not enough help. Sometimes we feel like we’re not enough. We’re not good enough. Not smart enough. Not pretty enough. Not anything enough.



So, we walk around looking at our life as if nothing is enough. We’re always lacking. Always in need. Always coming up short. Always feeling if we had more of this or more of that we would be better and do better, but we don’t.



So we don’t.



God designed your entire life around a relationship with him. If you have an abundance of everything, guess what … you no longer need the Almighty. Your daily need actually creates a daily relationship with your Creator. Your need and his faithful provision forms a level of trust you wouldn’t know otherwise.



Remember when the Israelites were in the desert, starving because they had run out of food? Do you remember how God provided for them? A miraculous dewy substance covered the ground each morning. When they worked it, it was like a dough for bread to bake. They called it manna from Heaven. That’s how God provided. The key was, it was just for that day.



Exodus 16: 4-5 “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”



Yes, God gave them enough for the day only. Enough. Just for one day. Why? To build their trust and test their faith.



Maybe that’s where you are today. You have enough, but it’s only enough for today. You have no idea how you’re going to make it through tomorrow. You don’t see tomorrow’s provisions here today. And what are you going to do next month? How the heck is this going to work next year? What you have certainly doesn’t look like enough and the truth is you’re freaking out a little. But maybe, just maybe, in this season God is building your trust and testing your faith.



Will you trust his provision is here for today and see that it is enough? Will you have faith he will do the same for you tomorrow too?



What happened when the Israelites didn’t trust for God’s provision the next day and gathered extra manna just in case? Verse 19, “Moses told them, ‘Do not keep any of it until morning.’ But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them.”



This break in trust and lack of faith created a rot in their provision. It went bad. And sister, the same exact thing happens to us now. When we start thinking God is not trustworthy for our tomorrow, we create a rot in what we do have. Things go rotten for us.



What has grown rotten in your life? What has gone bad? Could it be because you tried to do this thing on your own? Could it be because deep down, you really didn’t trust God was going to show up and do anything for you? Could it be because you needed to know exactly what you would have tomorrow, and this need for security and certainty just turned everything bad?



God wants us to depend on him daily. Honey if you have this whole thing figured out with your fool proof 10 year plan, why would you need God? Eventually you would stop seeking his hand because your hands are already full. So, he fills your hands, but he fills them with only enough for today.



And that is enough. Yes, this is enough.
