When I
entertained a large group in my home, I feared that the menu I planned wouldn’t
be enough to serve all the guests. I shouldn’t have worried though. Several
friends unexpectedly brought additional items and all of us were able to enjoy
the surprise surplus. We had more than enough and were able to share out of the
abundance.
We serve
a God of abundance who is consistently “more than enough.” We can see God’s
generous nature in the way He loves His children.
In Psalm
103, David lists the many benefits our Father bestows on us. Verse 4 says that
He redeems our life from destruction and crowns us with lovingkindness and
tender mercies.
The
apostle Paul reminds us that God “has blessed us with every spiritual blessing”
and “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph.
1:3; 3:20).
Because
of His great love, we are called children of God (1 John 3:1), and His
grace gives us “sufficiency in all things” that we “may have an abundance for
every good work” (2 Cor. 9:8).
God’s love and grace, spilled over into our lives, enables us to share them with others. The God of power and provision is always the God of “more than enough”!
