What does God say about more than enough?
2 Corinthians 9:8-11 GNBUK
“El” means “God” and “Shaddai” has been translated as “Almighty” or “All-Sufficient." Thus, He is “God Almighty” or “The All-Sufficient God." The idea is that God's power and provision is “more than enough” to meet any need. There is nothing too difficult for Him to accomplish.
El Shaddai is one of seven covenant names through which God revealed Himself to Israel. In Hebrew, El Shaddai means “the All-Sufficient One,” or “the God Who is more than enough.”
Exodus 36:3-5 New International Version (NIV)
So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done.”
Psalm 145:14 reminds us that God upholds us when we fall. Like He did with each of the people in the Bible, He uses our mistakes and failures to teach us more about Him, to show His mercy, and to encourage others as they find themselves unable to measure up. No one in the Bible was “enough” by our culture's standards.
The truth is that when we're struggling, God's grace—and His grace alone—bears us up, sustains us, and gives us the strength and courage we need to follow through. Jesus, who is Grace, is more than enough. We don't have to worry that if we don't do everything right, God will cut us off.
ANSWER: Absolutely not! The Bible tells us to persist in prayer and to pray about everything. God doesn't always answer the way we think He should, or when we think He should.
If anything, he spoke more about the kingdom of God than other topics. It's pretty clear.
God's grace abounds to us giving all sufficiency—not just barely enough, but super-abounding supply given to us to meet every personal need, and overflowing in God's Kingdom work in the world. In all things and at all times we realize God's power working in us to super-abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8 reveals God's purpose for surplus. It says, "And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." (NLT) According to this passage, God doesn't just provide for what we need, which is really amazing.
What does God say when we are struggling?
James 1:2-4 (NIV) “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
We all commit sin, and because of that, we may feel unworthy of the Savior's love. But He gave His life for us—He sacrificed for us. That selfless act was done because of love. The only thing we need to do to feel worthy of His love is use the power of His Atonement by repenting of our sins.
Matthew 6:26 -> You Are Loved. Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? God cares for the birds and He cares for the lilies, but He loves us and values us even more.
When people say "You're more than enough", they are expressing that the person they are talking to is already sufficient or complete just as they are, and that they don't need to change or be anyone other than who they are to be worthy of love, acceptance, and respect.
For He said, I am El Shaddai, the Almighty God, the All Sufficient God and the God of More than Enough.
El Shaddai means "the all-sufficient One" or "the God who is more than enough." The 91st Psalm along listts seven things that El Shaddail said He wil do for th person who sets his love upon Him.
friendship, community, knowledge, happiness. Friendship and community were valuable to Jesus, for he had a deep friendship with Mary, Martha, and their brother Lazarus (John 11:5) and throughout most of his ministry he surrounded himself with a small community of friends, his disciples (John 15:15).
When asked which commandment was the most important, Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39).
Luke 6:20-21 (NIV)
“Looking at his disciples, he said: 'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. '”
We just have to remember we serve a God who can do infinitely more than we could ask or imagine. We just have to stop limiting him and give ourselves the freedom to ask for those big things. After all, he's told us to do this.
How much God cares for you?
He gives us all we need for every good work, Ephesians 6.10-12. He provides escape from temptation, 1 Corinthians 10.13. And, He provides us with the necessary discipline in order to bring correction to our spiritual life, Hebrews 12.6-11. God provides us with His constant love and care.
God speaks to us through His Word. And one of the best ways to sense His presence is to get into His Word and ask His Holy Spirit to guide you into a better understanding of it. When you get into God's Word, and even speak it audibly, you will sense its power and His presence.
When we put our faith in Jesus as our Savior, we are pleasing God. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him.” Faith comes from the heart (Rom. 10:10), and God looks on the heart — not the actions (1 Sam.
Jesus can bring what no one else can provide and He is always more than enough! We can place ALL of our trust in God and believe with ALL of our heart that He will do above and beyond all that we could ask or imagine.
Jesus replied: “'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. ' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
