Daily Devotion - Episode 50 - Jesus is Enough
And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people? 1 Kings 3:7-9
Jesus Is Enough
We live in a world where we are constantly told that we are enough. You see it all over social media. You hear you have within you everything you need to succeed in life.
However, the Christian mindset should be the complete opposite. You do not have within you everything you need to be successful at life. If you were enough, then Jesus died for nothing, and the cross is pointless. Jesus is the only one who is enough, and is the only one who could ever live up to what a successful life should look like.
Solomon's Mindset
It is through the life of Solomon that we see this mindset in action. When God comes to Solomon in a dream and asks what He can give him, Solomon comes with a humble mindset and asks for the following:
“You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?” 1 Kings 3: 6-9
Look Upward
Rather than looking inward, like society wants us to, let us look upward. Because without Jesus we will never be enough.
