Sufficient

Last week I was a bit overwhelmed with all the work that I needed to do. On Saturday, I chose to go hiking, but it turned out to take much longer than I anticipated. We left around 9:00 in the morning and came home around 5:30. While hiking down the trail from the top of the mountain, I had some time to myself to think and enjoy the view. While I was thinking, I realized that God is sufficient; he is enough. This is an analogy that may not make sense, but in BSCI207, we learned about sufficiency in relations to genes. If a gene is sufficient, it can be removed and inserted in a different part of the embryo and the gene will still be expressed. For example, the gene bicoid is responsible for the formation of the anterior part of the body (the head). But if it is inserted to the posterior end of the body, the organism will have an additional head (this was done on fruit flies). The presence of the gene is enough to produce a head in development. In the same way, I realized that God is sufficient. I don't need anything or anyone else to lean on. If God calls me to do something, He will make a way and he will help me. Even though I have much to do, I choose to trust Him, believing that He is sufficient.
