"There is God"
"He gave His Son - will He not also freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32 GNT
Do you like to collect Bible promises for challenging times? When your collection seems inadequate, do you add to it, thinking, "I just haven't found the right promise yet?" Claiming the promise without understanding the all-sufficiency of the Promiser can disappoint you. Since there is no lack in God, He is all you need. And He is all you ever need! The Bible says, He can do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20 NIV). Seeking relief during a difficult time in life, author Hannah Whitall Smith visited a respected Bible teacher, hoping to find an answer. After listening attentively, the teacher told her, "Yes, all you say may be very true, but then, in spite of it all, there is God." Frustrated, Hannah responded, "Surely you did not understand how very serious... my difficulties are." "Oh yes, I did, but then, as I tell you, there is God." Several disappointing visits later, after hearing the same response, "There is God," the light dawned. She realized she had received the answer she needed; God alone was enough for all her needs! She writes: "The all-sufficiency of God ought to be... [to us], as the all-sufficiency of a good mother is to [her] child... [Her] presence and... love... make all fears... disappear. [She doesn't need] to make any promises and... explanations, [she alone] is all that the child needs." All God's blessings come in one package - Himself! Paul reminds you, "Everything belongs to you, [because] you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God" (1 Corinthians 3:22-23 CEV). You will get what you need because you are His redeemed child.
