Sufficient!
Today’s Audio Devotion:
Sufficient!
William Gurnall wrote, “God is sufficient to bear us up under every burden, though all the world should press upon us.” Is He sufficient for your needs today?
The builders of the tabernacle in Exodus 36:7 found that the “material they had was sufficient for the work to be done—indeed too much.” The apostle Paul said, “Our sufficiency is from God” (2 Corinthians 3:5). He trusted God for “sufficient courage” to face his trials (Philippians 1:20, NIV), and the Lord told him, “My grace is sufficient for you” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Your Savior is sufficient for you today. Whatever the struggle, whatever the burden, His grace is enough. His power is sufficient for your weakness, His provision is sufficient for your need, and His joy is sufficient for your soul.
Jesus comes to us in the midst of our struggles. He speaks to us of peace and bestows encouragement and strength. He gives a promise for every problem. Take a moment right now to thank Him for giving you all you need—and for being all you need.
There is in Christ a sufficiency of grace to meet the need of every moment.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
