Sufficiency: It Would Have Been Enough

Sufficiency is a gift from God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This weekend we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and Passover. I always think of the prayer we pray during Passover. It’s called Dayenu, which means ‘It would have been enough (sufficient). It is a song of thanksgiving and praise.

Take a moment to read this prayer and meditate on it. When you began to look back over your life and see all that God has brought you through, shout Dayenu (It Would Have Been Enough).

If He had brought us out from Egypt, (Exodus 13:14) and had not carried out judgments against them. sufficiency
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had carried out judgments against them (Exodus 3:19-20), and not against their idols.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had destroyed their idols and had not smitten their firstborn.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had smitten their first-born, (Exodus 11) and had not given us their wealth.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had given us their wealth and had not split the sea for us.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had split the sea for us, (Exodus 14:21) and had not taken us through it on dry land.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had taken us through the sea on dry land and had not drowned our oppressors in it.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had drowned our oppressors in it, (Exodus 14:26-28) and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years and had not fed us with manna.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had fed us with manna, (Deuteronomy 8:16) and had not given us the Sabbath.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had given us the Sabbath and had not brought us before Mount Sinai.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had brought us before Mount Sinai and had not given us the Torah.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!
If He had given us the Torah, (Exodus 20)and had not brought us into the land of Israel.
Dayenu, it would have been sufficient!

God blessed us and provided all of these blessings for our ancestors. He gave us Messiah, forgiveness for sin, abundant life, and so much more. He is El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient One, the God of more than Enough. DAYENU! Yes, we have sufficiency in all things.
