Many times we go through a hard point in our life and we will try to find something that we think is "enough" to get us through that trial.
We can say "if the person I like will just tell me that they like me back, that would be enough". Or maybe "If mom and dad show me they love me, that would be enough". The list can just go on and on!
But even thought we think these things are enough, they really aren't. One of the main things that affects what we think is "enough" is our friends. Often times we feel like an immediate response from a friend, that you can hear, is better than doing what we should, by taking it to God.
Its OK to take problems to a friend but you should always take them to God first. Some problems with taking a problem to your friend first are- they will usually take your side, they don't know everything so they can't help you the way God can, and they might not give you much good advice. No person can compete with God in knowledge. He knows everything and He knows best!
When we start to take everything to our friends we push God out of the picture. And by pushing Him out and going to our friends we are trying to fill a special place in our heart. That special place was created just for God. God will fill that special area more and more when you come to Him with all your problems.
We should believe what Psalm 73:25 says- "Whom have I in Heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you."
That should be ME! That should be YOU! We need to realize that GOD IS ENOUGH! He will meet all your needs!
~Philippians 4:19- But my God shall supply ALL your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
