As I considered a few changes for the new year, I chose the word—ENOUGH—as my one word to help me get back on track in 2014.
It may be more accurate to say that this one word—ENOUGH—chose me. It just rolled out of my restless heart and consumed my anxious thoughts awhile back.
Why enough? This New Year found me bouncing off my office walls again.
Where do I begin? Do I work on one of those book proposals? Do I need to write another blog post? Do I have a speaking event scheduled this month? Do I need to work on my new website, so I can get that up and going? I don’t know where to start! Enough!
Enough faith. As I began to pray for direction, I recalled some encouraging promises and valuable lessons that I’d learned in the past.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you (Phil. 4:9 NIV).
Enough grace. I remembered the story of another weak, tormented soul, who discovered the sufficiency of God’s grace. Like me, he begged God to take away his problems. But God responded with a powerful revelation.
My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. (2 Cor. 12:9 MSG)
What do you need as you face this New Year? I pray you discover God’s promises for you.
