Have you heard children brag and giggle about the gifts they received from their parents? You could almost touch their joy, enthusiasm, and trust in their parents. You’d hear them tell how they liked something they saw on TV, in the mall, or something they became interested in, and how their parents got it for them.
You can sense their trust in ‘daddy’ and ‘mummy’ to always provide, and even when the gift is less than a day old, they are already planning to ask their parents for another gift item. The joy that children are!
Do you know that we are children of a God who is able to provide us with more than enough? Ephesians 3:20 paints it: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” The scripture ascribes all power in heaven and on earth to him.
This is your cue to dream big and be unafraid to ask God for the seemingly impossible things. God’s supply is consistent with the vastness of His glory, not the limitation of our need. We don’t serve a stingy Father; we serve a generous God who gives liberally and loves relentlessly.
Sometimes, we equate “more than enough” with material blessings—more money, more opportunities, more open doors. While God certainly provides those when He sees fit, His greatest provision is Himself. Peace that passes understanding. Joy unspeakable. Strength in weakness. His Spirit as our guide and comforter. His Word as our anchor. These are not secondary gifts—they are evidence that in Him, we truly lack nothing.
If you feel like you’re running on empty—spiritually, emotionally, financially, or relationally—remember this: you’re not asked to be enough. You are invited to lean on the One who is. Psalm 23 doesn’t begin with what we lack; it begins with who we have: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” Because of who He is, you already have more than enough.
So, live from that place of sufficiency. Pray with boldness. Give with confidence. Love without fear. The God you serve doesn’t deal in scarcity—He deals in overflow.
Here are tips to live in this reality:
● Start Each Day in Acknowledgment of God’s Sufficiency
Before the day sweeps you into busyness or anxiety, pause and declare that He is enough for you. This resets your mind from self-dependence to God-reliance. It doesn’t mean ignoring your responsibilities—it means entering them with the awareness that you’re backed by heaven’s supply.
● Live Within Your Means but Beyond Your Fears
Trusting God as more than enough doesn’t mean overspending or living carelessly—it means refusing to let fear of lack dictate your choices. Be wise financially, but don’t hoard out of fear. Be generous when led. God’s provision flows in both practical stewardship and supernatural surprises.
● Practice Gratitude for What You Already Have
Comparison is a thief, but gratitude is a door to contentment. Make it a habit to write down or speak aloud 3–5 things daily that you’re thankful for. This trains your heart to see abundance instead of lack, which aligns with the truth that you already have more than enough in Christ.
● Declutter Your Heart and Priorities
Sometimes we feel like we don’t have “enough time” or “enough peace” because we’re overloaded with things God never asked us to carry. Ask: What am I doing out of pressure instead of purpose? Simplify where you can. Rest is a declaration that you trust God to be enough, even when you’re not doing everything.
● Feed on the Word, Not Just the World
The more we consume the world’s standards of success, the more we feel “not enough.” But the Word of God fills your spirit with truth, identity, and purpose. Scriptures like 2 Corinthians 9:8, Psalm 23, and Ephesians 3:20 remind you that God’s sufficiency isn’t occasional—it’s constant.
● Give Freely—Even When It Feels Tight
When you give (your time, money, encouragement, or gifts), you’re declaring trust in God to refill you. That’s Kingdom math. As Proverbs 11:25 says, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Scarcity holds on. Faith releases.
● Surround Yourself with Faith-Filled Voices
Your environment matters. Connect with people who speak life, declare God’s faithfulness, and don’t live in fear. Let testimonies of God’s provision remind you that you’re not the exception—if He did it for them, He’ll do it for you.
● Surrender the Outcome, Not the Effort
Being aware that God is more than enough doesn’t mean you do nothing—it means you do your part and leave the results to Him. Sow your seeds, but let God bring the harvest in His time and His way.
Conclusively, God is our sufficiency. There is no lack or want in Jesus. You are sufficient.
