Always Enough

What God requires He will supply. -Bro. Canter

This morning in class, we had a discussion about the first Passover. Bro. Canter told us that there were at the very least one million Israelites at that time, and possibly up to three or four million. In His mercy, God had provided a means of escaping the judgment to come through the covering of the blood by a perfect lamb. This meant that there would need to be at least two hundred and fifty thousand perfect lambs to provide a covering for each Israelite household. Two hundred and fifty thousand. That number seems impossible. Bro. Canter made the comment, however, that what God requires He will supply.

He asked if we could just imagine the few days before God told Moses what He would require. Maybe one man was speaking with his neighbor and told him, “We had the perfect little lamb born last night. I’ve never seen anything like it.” To which his neighbor responded, “Wow, you don’t say! We had one two days ago, and he’s just beautiful. Not a spot on him.” Across town, maybe one child whispered to her mother, “Momma, have you ever seen such a beautiful lamb?” To which her mother replied, “No, sweetheart. This one’s something special.”

And it was something special. For soon, all of Israel would be in need of a perfect little lamb. Can you imagine the thankfulness in their hearts as one after another realized that God had already prepared them for what they would face? He had supplied for their need before they even knew they had one.

So often, God has a plan, a requirement, of us, if you will. He asks for total surrender. He asks that we accept His plans for our lives. He asks that we trust Him, and follow His lead. And, if you’re anything like me, you may look around and say, “But Lord, I don’t have what it takes to do that.”

But gently, He responds, “What I require, I will supply.”

And I look at the future, and I argue with the Lord. I tell Him that it’s too hard, that He asks too much, that I don’t have enough.

And He whispers, “What I require, I will supply.”

And I see men and women sacrificing their time and efforts for the Savior and I think, “How do they do it?”

And He reminds me, “What I require, I will supply.”

So this is my encouragement for you today. For this day, whatever the Lord requires of you, He will supply it. For tomorrow, whatever the Lord asks of you, He is enough. He is the infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent God who does not change. He equips those that He calls. He is more than enough.

Trust Him, because He is worthy of your trust.

Trust Him with the past, because His blood is enough to cover the worst of sins.

Trust Him with today, because He gives us strength as the day.

Trust Him with tomorrow, because “Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.” (1 Thess. 5:24)

And listen, He’s remind you, “What I require, I will supply.”
