The God of more than enough

“…the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, ‘I am Almighty God…” - Genesis 17:1, NKJV
Do you need more peace, joy, or provision in your life? We serve a God who is more than enough and He has more than enough! The original Hebrew word in this verse is El Shaddai which means “the All-Sufficient One” or the God of plenty. In other words, our God is more than enough! He’s not worried about how He’s going to meet your needs.

He’s not wondering how He’s going to provide for you; He’s already overflowing with everything you need in this life, and He longs to bless you. Do you know why? He wants to bless you abundantly so that you can turn around and be a blessing to other people. He wants you to be His reflection in the earth. Today, keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. Remember, you serve the Almighty God. He promises to supply all your needs because He is El Shaddai, the God of more than enough!

Think it over

Belief in Jesus's death and resurrection brings the assurance of life with Him forever.

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story. Psalm 107:2

Brokenness can lead to wholeness

When life's struggles make you weary, find strength in the Lord.

When life knocks you down, you’re in the perfect position to pray!

Even when everything seems meaningless, God still has a purpose for your life.

Genesis 6:8

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

Thoughts on This Verse....

Reminds me of what God told Jesus at his baptism — "... in you I am well pleased!" Even in the middle of a culture steeped in sin in Noah's time, God could find the one heart loyal to him and use him and his family to be a blessing and provide the world a future. May we each be such a person in our day, in our job, in our school, in our neighborhood. Can you imagine the difference it would ultimately make if each of us decided to be a Noah?

Christian Living

“Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to them them.”

Joy

Joy comes from putting another’s needs ahead of our own.
