Seems like Enough

There are days when you’re truly grateful for what you have but somehow just realise that there’s still so much left undone on your ‘To-Be Done’ list.

Those are days when it feels like you know you are where God wants you to be, but at the same time, you’re also wondering why it feels like everyone else is moving ahead of you.

People are starting new things, announcing big wins, and you’re just here, doing the same thing, waiting on God like you have been doing all along.

“Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.”

Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭‭(NLT‬‬)

While contentment can be defined as ‘a state of being in which one is satisfied with their current life situation, and the state of affairs in one’s life as they presently are’ (Wikipedia), for us as believers, it is also a state of our heart posture.

Contentment doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t have needs or requests; it just means you stop rushing ahead of God. It means trusting that whatever season you’re in, even if it feels slow, quiet or tough, is still part of the plan.

It’s knowing that what God has given you right now is part of the journey, not the whole story. That you can make the best of this moment. That you can grow here, even when it doesn’t look shiny or loud.

“Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!”

Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭‭‭(NLT‬‬)

Contentment is peace in whatever He gives, whether it’s a full room, an open door or a quiet hallway. It’s the quiet knowing that God is good every step of the way regardless of circumstances.

It means staying consistently joyful through your seasons. The kind of joy that doesn’t have to wait for the next big thing to happen because it can exist right in the middle of the ordinary.

Why?

Because God is here, and He’s enough.

“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.”

Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭‭‭(NLT‬‬)

This is your reminder to live a life filled with joy and peace, knowing deep down that no matter what’s happening around you, you’re not missing out—if it’s part of God’s plan, and you stay in His will, it will definitely come to you.

Shalom!
