Christ is Enough

We sang this song this morning during worship...wow. Simple but powerful words.

Colossians 2:9-10 (NASB) "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority..."

I like this translation... "The Lord is my shepherd. I have everything I need." (Psalm 23:1 NCV)

The knowledge and reality of this urges me to say, "The cross before me, the world behind me, no turning back, no turning back!"

Psalm 107

Wow. Four times, four different types of people cried out to God in their distress and God moved on their behalf.

He delivered...

He saved...

He brought them out of their distresses...

When they were at their wit's end... All hope was gone... They cried out to God... And He answered.

Because God delights in redemption...buying back what only He can buy. He delights in loving His children. He delights in meeting our need.

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His loving kindness is everlasting."

Blue sky...
Crisp, cool air...
Sleeping in a few more hours than I planned...
I'm enjoying the last few delicious moments of summer break.

But, shockingly enough, I'm getting excited for this new school year. I'm eerily peaceful.

I met with one of my boy's parents yesterday. What a blessing they will be! Near the end of our conversation I told them that I start the year with fear and trembling because of the great responsibility that's placed on me. I said I must look to God each moment for wisdom and guidance. I told them that I covet their prayers.

I think I'm slowly learning that I can't do this alone. Nor was I designed to...

So we have another day to fully rely on God for every need...to delight in Him...and to bless others along the way.
