Morning by Morning,
November 20 - "Every Blessing in Abundance"
Good morning, Lord Jesus.
You are the Word of God. Let my spirit hear You speak, as You put Your thoughts
in my mind and Your desires in my heart. ...
"And God is able to provide
you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of
everything, you may share abundantly in every good work" (2 Corinthians
9:8).
Thank You for all You
provided for me, for all You have poured into me. Thank You for never giving up
on me, for always reaching out to me, for eternally embracing me. Give me an
ever-increasingly generous spirit that wants to share abundantly all I've
received.
Though I've not always seen
it for what it was at the time, You have provided me with "every blessing in
abundance"-even the blessings of all the opportunities to die to my flesh and my
will apart from Yours, to learn obedience through suffering, to find the
treasure of knowing that my relationship with You is the most important blessing
I could ever receive. "Thanks be to God for this indescribable gift!" (v. 9:15)
So I thank You for
provision, but I also thank You for teaching me that You alone must be the
source of my provision (Philippians 4:19). I thank You for joy, but I also thank
You for teaching me that it's for the sake of the joy set before me that at
times I must endure the cross of what feels like shame at the time (Hebrews
12:2). And I thank You for teaching me this simple truth from the Word of God as
a foundational philosophy of life: "The only thing that counts is faith working
through love" (Galatians 5:6). The blessing of knowing You in faith and giving
away what I've received to others in love is Your great, abundant blessing to
me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
