My God is sufficient. Rolls off the tongue rather nicely, doesn't it? And like the others, I find myself wondering if I truly believe it deep down in my heart, and wondering if I honestly believe God when He says He is Sufficient. But as Ms. Umbel states, "after a while, when we've worked our way through the tough time," I also have come to discover that it is in my past in which I can most clearly see God's Truth at work. Rarely in the midst of a crisis can I see clearly, think rationally, or even remember God's past Faithfulness. But it is ALWAYS in the reflection period after the intensity of the moment has subsided and the adrenaline and emotions die down that I can indeed say with a then-renewed confidence that indeed my Lord is Sufficient. I believe that for this reason, testimony is such a great benefactor...for those who hear our words of praise to God....but primarily for ourselves. In testifying to God's Power, Deliverance, Sufficiency, we are reminding ourselves, and reinforcing within our own hearts and minds what we continue to base our hope upon...that God is All we need.
