Enough.

Most families with kids in their mid to late 20's will recall a series of audio adventures known as Adventures in Odyssey. I grew up listening to it, and I still listen to it today. The Biblical lessons they teach through them are still relevant today, and just as heart-warming and inspiring. Which leads me to what inspired this post. 

The scripture mentioned in one particular episode of Odyssey was from Timothy:

"17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life." (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

The whole chapter is a wealth of truth. I highly recommend reading this passage in the context of the rest of the chapter, it's beautiful. For someone who is just now starting to personally experience the struggle with the love of money and riches, this chapter in Timothy has been a great encouragement. I could not say it any better:

"...But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world." (1 Timothy 6:6-7) 

 "11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." (1 Timothy 6:11-12) 

My job is to trust that God provides, to look back on my life and see how for every need and every step of the journey through His will, He was supplied me. What God supplies is just exactly what I need, no more, and no less. When temptation hits, it's also my choice to run the opposite way, and to pursue the things of God, righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness and gentleness. When you pursue God and His will at all costs, your needs for the journey will inevitably be taken care of.
