The Abundance Business

October 10
The fall weather has been glorious this week. Wednesday I grabbed a transistor radio (so old school) and went out on our property to take walk and listen to Victory FM.  The radio show was called "Grace to You."  While I can't remember the theme of the message, one quote stayed with me…

God is in the abundance business.

Do our prayers reflect that belief?  In this fallen world there are immense needs and our schedules are so packed that more often than not the only part of our prayers we get to are the Gimme ones.

I'm laughing at that word, as I visually break it down.  A Bun Dance!  Hmm, like shake your bootie.

How about thinking of life as "A Fun Dance" with the Lord.  He's placed us here for a season, extending to us an invitation to walk with him through an earthly life.  A life full of abundance, but also full of purpose…a preparation process for eternity to come.

Let's take time today to reflect on God's abundant offerings. The things we are not capable of creating.

The air we breathe, the rain we feel.

The food we eat.

The creation we view and the creatures who abide here with us.

The intricacies of the body which allow us to touch, taste, see, smell, and hear.

The miracle of birth.
The love, mercy and grace we receive from God.

How blessed we are to even encounter one of these miracles.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.   Jude 1:2
