When I entertained a large group in my home, I feared that the menu I planned wouldn’t be enough to serve all the quests. I shouldn’t have been 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 constantly «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 upon us. Verse 4 says that He redeems our life from destruction and crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies.
The apostle Paul reminds us that God "had 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 other. The God of power and provision is always the God of "more than enough" --- (Cindy Hess Kasper)
Praise my soul, the king of heaven;
To his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed. Healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing. --(Lyte)
