Mid Morning: More Than Enough

by Hillary Mortensen

The concept of "not enough" permeates my thoughts: I don't have enough faith. My bank account balance is just not high enough. I am not working enough hours. I haven't gotten enough sleep or exercise. Even too much ice cream just doesn't seem like enough. I never seem to have enough time. I'm not thin enough. All my best efforts just aren't enough.

When I concentrate on these not enoughs, I am left with a discontented, unsatisfied soul. Well, enough with these not enoughs! Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin remind us in the song More Than Enough that God is more than enough for us. He is everything. He is our reward, our supply, our King...and is still more awesome than we know!

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me


When we think that surely Adam has not had enough relaxation due to the surgeries and neurological storms or when we question whether we've prayed enough. When we think that Adam hasn't had enough of the best care or when we acknowledge that we have not had enough quality time with Adam recently, may it be our prayer for ourselves, for each other, and for Adam that in God, we will find and know that He is more than enough to satisfy our hungry, weary, broken souls.

Praise God for being more than enough:

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips, my mouth will praise You.
Psalm 63:5

[The Lord] satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 103:5

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love
and His wonderful deeds for men,
for He satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
Psalm 107:9

The sluggard craves and gets nothing,
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
Proverbs 13:4

Why spend money on what is not bread,
and labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Isaiah 55:2

He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
Luke 1:53
