Can you ever have enough?

 We keep searching and seeking for the next thing to give us pleasure or to rip our mind away from this depressing desperate existents called life. As soon as we get that thing that thing (job, person, cd, drug) that we just had to have the “need” wears off and we start pursuing something else, some knew thing that we just have too have. Sound familiar? It is too me because just like I was trying to get something that I didn't have. This thing in the right context is not bad but rather is a wonderful and powerful thing. However have gained it to an extent out of it's proper use has left me with “scars” of one sort or another. This “syndrome” is much like the childhood Christmas “I wants”. You know the long list that children produce upon commencement of the Christmas time. They all want the latest and coolest toys, this continues through adolescence into adulthood and even until death, but the toys become more sophisticated and expensive. I was on this path until I hit bottom or the bottom hit me. It was then that I learned the about the last thing you really would ever want or need, God. Now most of you probably think I have just stepped of the cliff and am on one fry short of a happy meal. Just consider these words:

 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) KJV

“For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills [God].” (Psalms 50:10) KJV

God has promised to supply all of our needs backed not only by His infinite perfect holy (separate from anything created) God Powers (if I may reverently) but also by the statement that He [God] owns everything. Certainly if God owns everything then He can give you what you need. That means it is a question of our unbelief that God is more than enough for us. Let me tell you here and now that I have pursued many things and in the words of King Solomon the wisest man ever made “All is vanity (worthless).” God is more than enough for any one, you can have enough, all you need is God, He is more than enough for you always.
