Dayenu

Dayenu – a Hebrew word that translates to “It would have been enough.” 

I recently became intrigued with some music I found on YouTube. This began with a Messianic Choir singing Kadosh Adoni Elohim, a beautiful arrangement of praise to our Holy Lord God. 

 Since then, Ron and I have daily enjoyed hearing the beautiful songs by this Messianic choir which highlight God’s eternal, powerful presence. Many of the arrangements involve scripture from the Psalms and the books by the Old Testament prophets as well as verses from the New Testament. 

The song I focused on today spoke of words from Psalm 23.  As the song moved from thought to thought these words stood out. “You prepare a table where fear has no claim. In the shadow valleys you call us by name.” 

 It goes on to speak of all God has done for His people. After each phrase, the word Dayenu (pronounced die A noo) follows. The writer is saying that if each blessing was the only thing God had ever done for His children, that would have been enough. 

Have you ever thought of your blessings and actually believed what this song speaks - that one thing “would have been enough, or it would have been sufficient?” I wonder if I can really be as thankful as that. 

I wonder if today I could possibly accept each of God’s blessings – each one - with a heart so grateful that I can say truthfully, from my heart, “Thank you God. It is enough.” 

I do pray that I can say and believe those words, "Thank you God.  It is enough." 

As His child, my life must be focused on Him, the Holy God, the King of the universe, our Savior.  And I pray that when He looks at me, He will  smile.  I know I don't have to try to earn His love. He gives it to all His children without cost.  I just want to show Him mine.

My love to all who read this.
