Post Thanksgiving Thoughts
Take an accurate inventory of what you have. Look within and you will find an abundance of things that are precious, and that money cannot buy. Count your blessings. Don't discount what is truly priceless.
Look outside and you will discover that everything that you see is perishing. Look within and you will discover things that will last for eternity. The bible says:
1 Corinthians 13:13 (ESV)
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
You have within you an abundance of things that will last forever. Recognizing what you have within will create an attitude of abundance. Then, you can become a river that never runs dry. When you give away things like faith, hope, and love you only get more. The more you give, the more you receive in return. Don't be a reservoir; you don't have to store up for a rainy day.
When God is your provider, you never have to worry about being empty. Be a river, and not a reservoir. Allow the gifts of God within you to flow out of you, and be a blessing to others who will give glory to God.
Philippians 4:19 (ESV)
19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
My prayer:
Luke 11:3 (ESV)
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
Father, I thank you that you are a God of abundance. Father, guide my faith to trust less in self, and more in you. In Jesus name, Amen.
