Abundance

September 2nd – Deuteronomy 8:7

Deuteronomy 8:7

For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;

Even though the United States isn’t short of faults, those that live here are blessed. For no other country offers the freedoms, prosperity, and abundance of America. That’s why it’s important to have a spirit of gratitude for living in a land of plenty. A blessing the rest of the world isn’t privileged to experience. And in a world where scarcity and need often prevail, we are called to recognize the abundance that surrounds us. From her fertile lands to bountiful resources, the hand of God has been upon the country. Such blessings are not to be taken for granted but rather embraced with a thankful heart. We should be grateful not only for the physical provisions but also for the sense of security, peace, and opportunities that come with living in a land of plenty. This verse encourages us to appreciate the beauty of God’s creation and His unwavering care. And with our gratitude, we honor the Giver of all good gifts and cultivate a spirit of generosity, reflecting God’s love in the world.

September 1st – Psalm 65:13

Psalm 65:13

The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain;they shout for joy and sing.”

I absolutely love this time of year. The days grow shorter, the nights cooler, and the land scape overflows with the beauty that comes with the changing seasons. It’s a time of harvest and thankfulness for God’s abundant blessings. Undeserved blessings which spring from His overflowing goodness. Just as the fields are clothed with lushness and the valleys covered with grain, our lives are adorned with the blessings of His provision, love, and grace. And each day God gives us, is an opportunity to witness the richness of His creation and experience His faithful care. So how could we, like the valley’s, not sing for joy? How could we not give Him praise for all that He is, all that He does, and all that He blesses us. Therefore may we all cultivate a heart of gratitude, acknowledging that every blessing we receive is a reflection of God’s enduring love and unending faithfulness.

July 28th – Proverbs 10:4

Proverbs 10:4

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.”

God is not a genie in a lamp. He doesn’t sit around waiting to grant our every wish. Yet as our Heavenly Father, He does love to bless His children abundantly. Only He wants us to work hand in hand with Him to bring about those blessings. And that’s why we are counseled to apply diligence to our lives. That means approaching all we do earnestly, with care and watchfulness. Because it’s those who apply themselves with diligence and dedication who are more likely to reap the rewards of success and abundance. Success going beyond material wealth, to a spiritual wealth including fruits of the Spirit like patience, discipline, and perseverance. Such qualities shape our character and foster a deep sense of fulfillment and contentment. As we strive diligently, we also grow in wisdom, understanding, and empathy, nurturing our spiritual well-being. This inner richness enriches our relationships, fosters a sense of purpose, and brings joy and peace into our lives.

Ephesians 3:20

Have you ever prayed to God and been absolutely blown away with the abundance of His answer? The apostle Paul tells us instead of being surprised, we should anticipate our Father to go above and beyond what we ask of Him. For we serve a God who loves to bless exceedingly those who abide in Him in faithful obedience. The Lord wants us to come to Him in prayer with all of our needs. Because He cares about every detail of our lives, both great and small. And when we do, we need to be bold, expectant, and prepared for an answer that will be far greater anything we could imagine! Today go to God in prayer with boldness. And prepare to receive superabundant blessings!

Psalm 65:11

With so much division in the world and so many hurting, it can be hard to be optimistic about the year ahead. But as Christians we don’t place our hope in the world, our hope is found in Jesus. For no matter the world events, the changing seasons, or plans of the Enemy, God has crowned the year with His goodness and abundance! That means whatever this world throws at us, we can be filled with hope and confidence. Hope in the promises of God, and confidence that in His love and goodness, He will not only meet our needs, but do so graciously and abundantly!
