God is Enough

Bible Reading: John 1:1-13

Focus Verse: "The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone." John 1:4

We learn in the book of John that Christ is the eternal Word. Christ was with God and was God and was existing in the beginning with God.  Through Him all things were made.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  We know that in Genesis, in the Garden of Eden, that God breathed life into Adam.  God then provides everything that we need for life.  God is enough.  

There are a few things that many people agree that we need for life.  If we have air, water, food, shelter and sunlight then we can survive. The Bible tells us that all of those things are available in a spiritual way as well!  Let's look at them.  Air: Genesis 2:7 tells us that God is the breath of life". Water: Jeremiah 17:13 says that the Lord is the fountain of living water.  Food: John 6:35 shows Jesus saying that He is the bread of life.  Shelter: Proverbs 18:10 tells us that the name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe. Sunlight: John 8:12 Jesus said that He is the light of the world and if you follow Him, you will have the light that leads to life.

If we believe, accept and give our lives to follow Him, He gives us the right to be called children of God. (John 1:12) We are reborn into a spiritual birth that comes from God.  (vs 13)  God doesn't leave us as orphans, but sustains us as Psalm 54:4 says, "Behold, God is my helper; the upholder of my life." Life itself begins with God and ends with God, but also is sustained by God.  "And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Colossians 1:17  You can trust that God is enough for your life.
