El Shaddai - the God who is more than enough!

And the Lord said to Moses, " Has the Lord's arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not" (Num 11:23)

Numbers 11 starts out with the Israelites complaining that they do not have any meat to eat. They complained that they had all the fish they wanted in Egypt and now (after being rescued) they only have manna to eat. God heard their cry and told Moses to tell them that He heard their cries and after they have purified themselves, He will send them the meat they have asked. Moses asked God how this would be possible as there were 600 000 men alone to feed (not to mention women and children) and all the animals they had would not be enough to feed everyone. The Lord then asked:"Has the Lord's arm been shortened?" (God is trying to tell Moses and the Israelites that NOTHING is impossible for Him)

Nothing is beyond reach when God is on your side. In 2 Peter 1:3 God promises to give His children " all things that pertain to life and godliness". This includes things that pertain to our spiritual, physical, emotional and financial needs.

God is bigger than any problem you can ever encounter. Seek Him first and eveything you need will be given to you.

He is El Shaddai - the God who is more than enough!
