All In All

"You are my strength when I am weak,
You are the treasure that I seek,
You are my all in all.

Seeking You as a precious jewel,
Lord to give up I'd be a fool,
You are my all in all.

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising up again I bless Your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all.

Jesus, Lamb of God. Worthy is Your Name.
Jesus, Lamb of God. Worthy is Your Name."

God's timing is perfect. Just a few days after writing my addictions post, today my Bible Study in Lies Women Believe covered this lie about God: that "God isn't enough."

As author Nancy Leigh DeMoss acknowledged, most of us would never admit to believing this lie. In fact, my head would say it knows this is a lie. However, belief (where the mind and heart meet) is visible through our actions, and my actions are currently telling me that I do believe this lie.

My endless and sometimes seemingly reckless pursuit of hobbies, relationships, activities, and fun new adventures as a means of satisfaction and accomplishment-even worth-will not let me avoid the issue: I'm believing this lie about our precious and Holy God.


I have been challenged to think of an action plan, to steer me away from this line of thinking. Hobbies, friendships and all other activities are not bad. They are a necessary part of living and growing. However, there is a balance, that remains so only when God fills the position of fulcrum, balancing out our life, with Him as the foundation and sustainer of purpose, and desire.

Colossians 2:9-10 says, "For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority."

And Paul tells us in Ephesians, that we have been adopted as His children. The way He loves and cares for Jesus, is the same level and depth of care and love He has for us. Who are what in the world can offer more than that?

My prayer is that I would diligently seek to remember no matter what, that God loves me and will take care of me. It is my choice to trust Him start believing that He is enough, so that it shows in my actions, mindset, and attitude.

Psalm 73:23-26: "Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God isthe strengthof my heart and my portion forever."
