They were exceedingly astonished, and they said, “He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Mark 7:37

The Gospels tell us that when people met Jesus they marveled, they were wowed, they were exceedingly astonished. No one was ever bored by Jesus. Some people were confused by him. Some people loved him. Others hated him and wanted to kill him, but no one was ever bored. God wants to lead us to a place of peace when it comes to this question of enough. Like the deaf man, we must be willing to get away from the crowd. To deal with this issue of enough, we must let Jesus open our ears to God, so he can speak to us about it.

Imagine today what it would look like to walk away from our culture’s compulsion to acquire stuff, status, and strength. Realize and understand that, in the eyes of God, a willing heart that is open to Jesus is the only thing you really need.

Pray for the wisdom to recognize when you are being pulled into society’s traps. Ask for God’s help as you start believing that you are enough.
