Devotions - JESUS IS ENOUGH

I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. PHILIPPIANS 4:11–13

Reflections:

We know that Jesus is enough, but probably none of us believe that to be true 100% of the time. Last week’s topic was BIG JESUS. This week’s topic is ENOUGH JESUS. In other words, is Jesus our source of contentment?  

1. Read Romans 8:37–39, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“

2. Are you experiencing Jesus in prayer, worship, devotion, and mission? If not, Jesus might not be enough, and you might be discontented.

3. What are your secondary sources? In other words, where do you go besides Jesus?

4. What are your primary sources? In other words, what feeds you, what promotes a healthy relationship with Jesus? What encourages you to follow Jesus?

5. What does verse 13 say about our ability to be content without Jesus? “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.“
