Inbred in our culture is a mentality of scarcity. Many live paycheck to paycheck and are constantly operating in fear that there won’t be enough.
We constantly feel like we don’t have enough and we want more—more wealth, more things, a more abundant life. The truth is though if you’re a Christ follower, you have been reborn into an abundant life.
Everything you have is from God. You might say you are where you are because of your hard work and dedication to the grind. You worked for the job you have and all of your material possession.
These things are true, but God made you with a specific skill set and gifts. He knew what you would need in order to fulfill His purpose for you.
He gave you the ability to become who you are and make a life for yourself. God always makes sure you have what you need. He enabled you to live the life you are living.
Notice what I said. Living an abundant life isn’t about having enough because the truth is most of the time you’ll feel like you don’t.
Abundance is a mindset. God tells us that when you live out of scarcity you get what you give. So even if you have a little and give back to Him a small part of what He has given to you, you are affirming all that you have is because of Him.
Freedom comes when you recognize He is the source of everything you have in your life. You won’t live in fear when you know He is the source. His love, grace, mercy, protection, provision won’t run out.
Thank Him for what you already have and be faithful in giving back cheerfully a portion of what is rightfully His. He sees your faith and love for Him and always bless you abundantly more than you can imagine for your faithfulness.
What is holding you back from giving to Him what He has abundantly supplied for you?
