"Enough Is Enough"

"..... yet will I trust in him..."  Job 13:15

We all face problems, trials and difficulties.  But some times they come in multiples.  It seems like we can't get though one problem before another comes.  And before we can get through that one, here comes another one, then another, then another.  They are compounded upon top of each other-- one after another.  It is enough to make you say-- enough is enough.  When are they going to stop?  When will I get a breather?  When will I get a break?  Am I ever going to see daylight again?  Enough is enough.  They push you to your limit.  They try you to the point where you don't think you can go through one more thing.  They make you want to give up.  They test you beyond your capacity.  Enough is enough.

What do you do when enough is enough?  When you can't take any more? When you have reached your limited?  When you are tried beyond the breaking point?  Many will decide to end their lives.  Some will turn to the pill bottle, alcohol or some other drug of choice.  Some will throw themselves into activity, entertainment, work, etc.  What do you do?  Where do you go?  Where is your answer to make it through the times when enough is enough?

Let's look at the life of a man who went though a time like this and see where he found his answer.  Job had it all.  He had all the things we aspire to have in this life.  Then one day tragedy hit.  He lost his flocks, his servants, his children, his wife's support, his health and the compassion of his friends.  Talk about one trouble after another.  The bad news didn't let up, it just kept coming and coming.  Enough is enough.  But Job found the answer.  "Yet, I will trust Him/the Lord".  

This is our answer today as well.  Jesus is the Answer.  When enough is enough, when problems just keep coming, when they keep mounting up, when you can't catch your breath before another one comes, you will find your answer in Jesus.  Keep holding on to Him.  Keep trusting in Him.  Keep looking to Him.  Keep putting your faith and confidence in Him.  Don't stop trusting Him.  He knows how to bring you through it.  He knows how to make a way.  He will give you grace and strength.  He will turn it around and work it out for your good.  He will give you restoration.  He will give you help, peace and hope.  He will give you all that you need in the midst of your "enough is enough" to make it through it.  Make your heart's motto:  "Yet, I will trust Him."

Have a great day.  When you have gone through all you can take, when enough is enough, Jesus is your answer to make it through it.  Keep trusting in Him.
