Here’s
a confession/call to worship inspired by Exodus 16:1-18. It was written by Tim

God of Enough
(inspired by Exodus
16:1-8)
The
ads online, on TV, and everywhere we look shout:
“Buy me! You deserve me! You’re only worthy
with me!”
Some days we shout back: Enough!
Some days we shout back: Enough!
And
other days we let a theology and attitude of scarcity overtake us.
On those days we allow what we have
On those days we allow what we have
to
define us,
control us, and restrict us.
God
provides enough.
God created each of us as enough.
God creates a world of abundance.
But our certainty of scarcity,
God created each of us as enough.
God creates a world of abundance.
But our certainty of scarcity,
our
idolatry of the shiny,
and
our fears of others
prevent
us from gratitude, graciousness, and sharing.
We
live in an abundant world.
Our creator makes it so.
Our creator makes it so.
Move
our hearts, lessen our fears in this hour.
There is enough for all of us.
There is enough for all of us.
Praise
be to the God of Abundant Love!
Praise to the God of Enough!
Praise to the God of Enough!
