Thoughts for the Day, August 28, 2020

 

We live in a world of supply and demand, where necessary things are often scarce. We have especially experienced this during the Covid-19 crisis with basic items like toilet paper, cleaning supplies and even baking items have been in great demand and short supply. Even if we personally have enough of life’s necessities, we see poverty in the world around  us and realize our human limitations. 

 

This makes it almost impossible for us to comprehend the abundance of God’s provision: the fullness of his glorious riches. But when we spend time in His presence, we gain glimpses of His overflowing generosity. They are a foretaste of what we will experience in the life to come. Even now we have access to as much of His abundance as we have faith to receive. Today let’s start the day by praising God for His mercy, grace and glorious riches.  

 

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:19
