The Word of God has ironies that if you slow down long enough to consider them, speak great amounts of wisdom to us. What is ironic to me is how the “richest man to ever live; Solomon” is the one who writes proverbs like this…

Proverbs 15:17 “Better is a dish of vegetables where love is; Than a fattened ox served with hatred.”

Proverbs 16:8 “Better is a little with righteousness; Than great income with injustice.”

The irony for me is that this man had what most people are pursuing, wealth, abudance, a title, children, women, he had it all and yet he writes Proverbs that speak to us from the apex of what we are pursuing. Here is the man who has more than enough of everything and he says, having less is better than having more, because with more money comes more problems.

Before my husband and I got engaged, we were sitting on my patio on the 14th floor in Malaysia and he said to me, “If it is you and me and a bowl of rice, is that enough for you?” Without hesitatation I said, “If it is me and you, that is enough for me.” I feel like the Lord is asking us the same question, “If it is Me (Yahweh) and you (fill in your name), is that enough for you?” Only you know the answer of your heart to this question, but the apostle Paul said he was content in every situation, whether in plenty or in lack, because he had met the Lord on the road to Damascus and once you have seen Him, nothing else matters.

I pray we have a great awakening of seeing Lord high and lifted up and the train of His robe filling the temple (Isaiah 6), because we have seen and heard enough of all the other things. It is no wonder we are pursuing the seen, because we have not seen the unseen. But there is a great awakening coming upon us and our eyes are going to see the King of Glory and when we do, we will say, “If it is You and me, that is more than enough for me.”
