More Than Needed!
"Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
and let your soul delight itself in abundance."
Isaiah 55: 2
In Christ, we have abundant life, as promised in John 10:10.
But how should we define the word abundant? The
thesaurus
defines it: “lavish, overflowing, bountiful, plenteous, teeming,
more than is needed.”
His mercy is lavish, overflows, bountiful, plenteous, teeming, and more
than enough to forgive any guilt we’ve been feeling. He gives abundant
joy (Philippians 1:26), more than is needed for any trial. We can delight
ourselves in the abundance of peace (Psalm 37:11), and He is able to do
“exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
When we get to heaven and look back on our earthly days,
we will find that He answered our prayers with lavishing,
overflowing, bountiful, plenteous, teeming generosity.
He gives so much more than is needed! And think
of eternal abundance of our inheritance in heaven!
Jesus is not insolvent.
The abundant life is ours through Him.
We should delight in the abundance of
Christ, who is our life.
What is more abundant life? It is the Lord Jesus Himself….
Life more abundant is glorious life... victorious life… fruitful
life… strong life… praising life.
