The Joy Of A Generous God
November 22, 2012

Recently I walked into a hotel lobby that featured the largest arrangement of fresh flowers I have ever seen. It was bursting with color, perfectly arranged, and its fragrance was amazing. It stopped me in my tracks, and I lingered for a moment to admire its beauty. It made me think that there is something about abundance that captures our hearts. Think of the inviting beauty of a bowl overflowing with colorful fruit, or a countertop covered with three or four pies ready for enjoyment after a bountiful Thanksgiving meal.

The joy of abundance reminds me of the generosity of God. He makes our cup overflow (Ps. 23:5); He “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20); His grace is sufficient for any difficulty that life brings our way (2 Cor. 12:9); and it is He who kills the fatted calf and calls for the best robe when the prodigal returns (see Luke 15:20-24). No wonder the psalmist rejoices: “How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house” (Ps. 36:7-8). Our God is abundantly good. Let’s overflow with praise for His many blessings.

Lord, thank You for the reminder that far from
being stingy You bless us with good things in
abundance. Thank You for Your presence and
the comfort of the promises in Your Word.

Keep praising God from whom all blessings flow.

Read: Psalm 36:5-12

They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. —Psalm 36:8

Bible in a Year:
Romans 12-16

Hi, Kathy. Happy Holiday.

[TMSuchman]

We are invisible. The silent minority. The chosen few, handpicked not by our peers but by ourselves. We stand in harm’s way of our own volition, motivated by the desire to right the wrongs, defend the defenseless, to hold the line against disorder and chaos. We have no need for compensation, our rewards will not come in this life. When our final moment is upon us, as the last warm breath escapes our lungs, we will know that we were just. As we lay, our eyes staring to the heavens our comfort will be in our honor. Our end is not an end, never final, never permanent. We will remain to guide those that follow. We will speak to them in unheard voices. We are immortal. Our spirit lives on through our deeds because we know that words without action mean nothing. We are sheepdogs, now and forever.
