IS HE ENOUGH?
Today's reading: Joshua 11-15

"These are the allotments Moses had made while he was on the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River, east of Jericho. But Moses gave no land to the tribe of Levi, for the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised to be their inheritance." Joshua 13:32-33 NLT

If I were one of the tribe of Levi, would I have been content to stand around while other tribes received their allotment of land? While 'deeds' were passed out, would I have smiled and congratulated my neighbors? Would I have been happy about my friends receiving acreage in this new, unbelievable land, while I received--the Lord? Would I have been pleased to see others settle into their homes, on their own pieces of land, as I walked back and forth in the Tabernacle grounds each day? 

Would God have been enough for me?

Am I content to have Him when I still don't have answers to the prayers I continue to pray?

Am I satisfied to have Him when I don't understand, or like, what it is He is doing?

Am I pleased to have Him when those I see around me receive material blessings that make me jealous?

Am I gratified to have 'just' Him when what I've asked for is the pain to leave, the long night to end or the thorn to be removed?

Is God enough for me?

Is God enough for you?
