”From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.“
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I’m reading Steven Furtick new book insert title and it’s really good. In it he talks about operating from a place of abundance and not a deficet. It’s easy to talk about what we don’t have. Oh I don’t have these skills, I don’t have a spouse, I don’t have the right job, I don’t have family support. Insert your don’t. However it doesn’t have to be that way.

God has given us so much. More than we could ever ask for. We have abundance because we have him. We have to reframe our thinking. If we continue to operate from a place of lack we are always going to come up short. However God is a gap filler. He tells us over and over again that he will meet our needs and our wants.

”The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬

When we shift our perspective from scarcity to abundance, we begin to see the countless blessings that surround us each day. It’s not just about material possessions or tangible successes; it’s about recognizing the love, grace, and opportunities that God continuously pours into our lives.

Operating from a mindset of abundance doesn’t mean ignoring challenges or difficulties; rather, it means facing them with the confidence that we have everything we need to overcome them. It’s about trusting in God’s provision and believing that He will always provide for us, just as He promised.

As we embrace the truth of God’s abundance, we can let go of fear, worry, and doubt. We can step into each day with gratitude and joy, knowing that we are richly blessed and deeply loved. And as we live from this place of abundance, we can inspire others to do the same, spreading hope and encouragement wherever we go.

So let’s shift our focus from what we lack to what we have been given. Let’s celebrate the abundance that surrounds us and trust in God’s faithfulness to continue pouring out His blessings upon us. With hearts full of gratitude and minds renewed by His truth, we can live each day to the fullest, confident in the knowledge that we are abundantly blessed by our gracious and loving God.
