"He gave us his Son-will he not also freely give
us all things?" Ro 8:32 GNT
Do you like to collect Bible promises for challenging
times? When your collection seems inadequate, do
you add to it, thinking, "I just haven't found the right
promise yet?" Claiming the promise without
understanding the all-sufficiency of the Promiser
can disappoint you. Since there is no lack in God, He
is all you need. And He is all you will ever need! The
Bible says, He can do "immeasurably more than all
we ask or imagine" (Eph 3:20 NIV). Seeking relief
during a difficult time in life, author Hannah Whitall
Smith visited a respected Bible teacher, hoping to
find an answer. After listening attentively, the
teacher told her, "Yes, all you say may be very true,
but then, in spite of it all, there is God." Frustrated,
Hannah responded, "Surely you did not understand
how very serious.my difficulties are." "Oh yes, I
did, but then, as I tell you, there is God." Several
disappointing visits later, after hearing the same
response, "There is God." the light dawned. She
realized she had received the answer she needed;
God alone was enough for all her needs! She writes:
"The all-sufficiency of God ought to be...[to us], as
the all-sufficiency of a good mother is to [her]
child……[Her] presence and…..love…make all fears.
disappear. [She doesn't need] to make any
promises and…explanations, [she alone] is all that
the child needs." All God's blessings come in one
package-Himself! Paul reminds you, "Everything
belongs to you, [because] you belong to Christ, and
Christ belongs to God" (1Co 3:22-23 CEV). You will
get what you need because you are His redeemed
