When God Isn't Enough

When God isn't enough? What!?

Wait, Casey are you telling me that God isn't enough? No, I am not telling you God isn't enough. He SHOULD be enough. How many times do you show that God isn't enough in your daily life. It's incredible how guilty I am of this.

Everyone has a best friend or there "go-to" person, whether it's your sister, brother, friend, or whoever it may be, you have someone you can trust and are comfortable talking to. Let me ask you this, so who do you run to when you can't "handle" life or something went wrong? Did you answer someones name other than God? You are guilty, just like me. I have multiple people in my life that I trust. My best friend/sister, two very special ladies from my church, both who love me enough to call me family. I tend to go to them when I am feeling hurt or discouraged. They lift me back up and tell me to pray about it. Well duh! I knew that. Okay? Well, why didn't I talk to God first? We all go to that person first because we want to be comforted or showed we are cared about or hope we will get the answers we want right than and there. Everyone expects pain at some point in their life, if it's physical or emotional. At some point in your life I am sure you have asked "why does God make life painful?" People tell us to pray about what is going wrong in our life, but sometimes the answers we get back we feel like He is rejecting us. We than are going by our demands again, God isn't physically there to see, but His ways and His answers are the best, even when we don't think so.

Yes, as Christians, we don't have perfect hearts? We fail, ALL. THE. TIME! Wait, what! SHOCKER! Have you noticed that when you focus more on relying on people your anxieties and fears take over? If we don't get what we need from that one person, we move on to the next, to find some sort of comfort. When the glory of the one true living God is no long our passion in life, that glory shifts to us existing for our glory and look for gods who will meet what we want and what we demand. When this happens we are sticking our noses up in the air saying "God, you are not enough."We should be looking at God as our "go-to" person. God comforts your anxieties and supplies all your needs. [Philippians 4:19]
