Ssssh No Worries---You're Covered!
My grandfather was born in 1917 and had 17 siblings! Yes, they were farm people and he joked “the children were ideal FREE labor” :>). 
With 20 souls in one family, they learned to be grateful and not waste ANY part of the cow and pigs placed before them---as he would say “we ate from the rooter to the tooter”. Yet, ice cream was a rare TREAT for the size of their household.
Years later, my grandparents kept multiple containers of Breyers ice cream in the fridge for our visits. Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Pistachio, Vanilla Cherry--- with STRAWBERRY as my favorite!
Inevitably a younger cousin would eye another’s bowl, compare it to their portion and begin to cry or have a tantrum. The older ones would rush to share their portion with the crying one.
Yet, to the younger ones, I can still hear my grandpa say---
“Hush, why are you crying? Don’t worry---there is MORE than enough!”
And it seemed my grandmom “magically” appeared with a fresh FULL container of ice cream to replenish our bowls.
The Heavenly Father is called---El Shaddai---The GOD OF MORE THAN ENOUGH!
In today's society with digital media, social media…THE MEDIA…unknowing people are eyeing one another’s “bowls” and can easily fall into the “ice cream tantrum- jealousy-envy- covetous trap”---
It sounds like---“ theirs is bigger than mine, they have what I want, why do they have it and I don’t, when am I going to get mine????”
It looks like---Now you have a long face, hurt feelings and a “prickly” attitude!
Whatever your “ice cream” may be---
A home, a specific car, a particular relationship, a body type, a lifestyle, a “social media following”, a position, even a ministry---
Be encouraged today---GOD HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH to fill YOUR bowl!
Genesis 17:1-5 God introduces himself to Abraham as El Shaddai.
“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty (El Shaddai); walk before me and be blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.” Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.”
El Shaddai is the God of “more than enough.” “Enough” is that which is required to meet our needs. “More than enough” is having extra left over to meet the needs of others. The revelation of El Shaddai brought with it a formal statement of fruitfulness and prosperity. We are blessed to be a blessing!
In this age of digital and social media with its QUICK and often airbrushed pics statistics report, one can, unfortunately, become disillusioned to the point of depression and suicide.
If my Godly earthly grandparents could anticipate our needs (and always seem to "magically" appear with MORE) ...How much more we can expect from The Heavenly Father?!
EL SHADDAI has an ample supply for EACH of His children to...OVERFLOWING!
There is NO lack from the halls of heaven.
So, enjoy YOUR current portion, knowing He has MORE available set aside just for YOU with ample supply for you to BLESS others too!
And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 AMP
So, Sssssshhhhh---Relax, NO worries---KEEP your eyes on YOUR Bowl...There is MORE Than Enough For you to enjoy and Bless Others Too!
Yum.
