Philippians 4:11-12
11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to [a]be abased, and I know how to [b]abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Quickword: Enough!
This morning for those of you who engage with me daily, please allow me a liberty. We have been in the book of Acts, yet this morning there is a text in Philippians that’s tugging at my heart. Paul’s words to the church at Philippi intersects with where I find myself this morning. I’m grateful to God that I’ve lived long enough now to have some life experiences. I know what it’s like to love and be loved, yet I also know the pain of not being loved. I know what it’s like to be ill, yet I also know the blessings of being healed. My brothers and my sisters, I know what it’s like to live comfortably but I also know how to make it when things are uncomfortable. All I’m really trying to say and this passage helps me is that, I’ve been up and I’ve been down, yet I’ve got a praise this morning and it’s simply this:
- If God doesn’t do anything else, He has already done enough!!
My brothers and my ‘sister’s, God woke me up this morning. God put a roof over my head; I’ve got clothes to wear. I’ve got as the old Saints would say a reasonable portion of health and strength.
- If God doesn’t do anything else, He has already done enough.
I don’t know what today nor tomorrow will hold. There is nothing I can change about the days which have past. All I know is that God has been good to me, so I again I say:
If God doesn’t do anything else for me; He has already done enough!!!!
He is worthy, He is worthy, He is worthy of our praise!
