DAILY DEVOTION: Claiming abundance (The Provision)

How do they care for those who depend on them? Do they ever have a financial glitch when they have to pull back and say to their children, ‘Sorry, we just can't afford that right now?’ Well in answering the question of how rich they are: Very poor compared to God! Quite often we are stalled in our prayers because we truly wonder, ‘Can God afford this?" When it doesn't come through, we don't realise that our lack of faith or His superior wisdom caused the block. We are thinking (or NOT thinking), that this might have been too much for even God. Let's learn to perish those thoughts and ask for what we want. God's storehouse is more than stacked with whatever we can ask for (and even the 2021 model). We dare not live outside of the abundance that He has for us, because we doubt His ability to provide. He takes awesome care of the creatures of His universe. The stars, mountains, birds, roses, etc. are not complaining. As the apple of His eye, we should stop the worrying and complaining also. God is able and willing to provide for us and it is a responsibility that He takes very seriously. God can afford our abundance, so let us trust His provision.

Matt 6:30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field… shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith.
