I get greedy, wanting more and bigger, and I want it faster. But when I pause for a moment of consideration I realize that much of what I want, both for myself and those I love, is not really what is best for me or them. I certainly wanted passionately for my child to not be involved in the legal system. But there were lessons for each of us during that time that I suspect could not have gotten through our stubborn skulls in any easier way and I certainly look back and see unexpected blessings from that time.
So whether it is greed or anxiety or cultural pressures or fear or something else prodding me to self-pity or anger or unbridled worry, I can make another choice. I can choose to trust that what I have today is enough and that all I will need in my tomorrows have already been provide by a God who loves me more than I am capable of loving anyone or anything else.
I can affirm with confidence and hope: GOD WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE ENOUGH.
Proverbs 3:10 Then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will burst with wine.
