Does God have a Definition of Enough?

How do I know when I have enough? Can enough even really be quantified? Shouldn’t the real definition of enough be left up to each person to figure out? Don’t we in the U.S. have a constitutional right to determine our own enough as we pursue life, liberty and happiness?  For some, enough might be living in a mobile home park; for others, it might require a house in the Hamptons. Who’s to say, and how can we really know?

If you’re a Christian, you don’t have to wonder. God knew that we would have a difficult time defining enough. We do well with recipes and car payments, when we know exactly how much sugar or money we need. But when it’s up to us, when it comes to establishing a standard of living with enough, we have a hard time drawing the line.

So God gave us a standard. His Word offers us several clear and, I might add, simple definitions of enough. The bad news is that God’s definition of enough and mine don’t typically line up. I’m afraid that God’s enough is much less than my enough.
