Title: Rich Enough
Author: Elisabeth Elliot
This morning I was praying about three very complicated matters for which I have a share of responsibility. I could not see my way through them and realized, as I prayed, that because I could not see a way, I was doubtful that there was a way. My limitations became, in my mind, God's limitations. Then my reading fell on Romans 10, where Paul speaks of the same sort of error (though much more far-reaching than mine)--that of the Jews having supposed that they must find the way of righteousness by themselves, and that Gentiles could not possibly find it. The way is and always has been God's and only God's, open to those who trust Him. For Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. "Rich enough!" I had been praying as though my own needs might exhaust God's resources. Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring, For His grace and power are such None can ever ask too much. (John Newton)
