God Is Enough

One of the most beautiful gifts of a personal friendship with God is the deep and lasting satisfaction it brings. In a world where we often chase fleeting things like attention, approval, or achievement to feel fulfilled, God offers something far greater—a source of unwavering security and love. When we embrace his friendship, we experience a peace that fills the emptiness, a joy that doesn’t waver with our circumstances.

To explore how to build this kind of richly satisfying relationship with God, listen to this Scripture Playlist episode on discovering that God is truly enough for us.

The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.
