Kari Jobe Explains Meaning of 'Always Enough' Song; Says God's Presence 'Exposes Lies' [VIDEO]
Kari Jobe has been releasing weekly live or lyric music videos every Tuesday off her album Majestic, and the following day she explains the song's meeting. Today, the singer discussed "Always Enough."
"Always Enough" comes from the Bible verse in Philippians 3:7-9a, which reads "I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him."
Jobe said the most common way the "surrounding culture deceives" people is through making everyone feel they are missing something. "It's so very easy to buy into that lie. The worlds of marketing and advertising thrive upon their skill at making us feel restless, inadequate and unsatisfied."
She continued and said "God's presence...exposes those lies." Through God those deceptive thoughts are defeated, and we can focus on Him for what we need.
"May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God's presence and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself as a vessel for Him to fill full of His Spirit and His love," Jobe quoted a 19th century minister Andrew Murray.
Last week Jobe released a live version of "Keeper of My Heart" and explained the song was birthed out of Psalm 121:3-5a, which reads "He will not let your foot slip"”he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you..."
