Things in which to abound

.. Abound in Faith

2 Corinthians 8:7

But since you excel in everything —in faith, in speech, in knowledge,  in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

.. Abound in Hope

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace  as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit
.
.. Abound in Love

Philippians 1:9
And this is my prayer: that your love  may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight
.. Abound in Good Works

2 Corinthians 9:8 
And God is able  to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,  you will abound in every good work

God’s Purpose

The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever — do not abandon the works of your hands. — Psalm 138:8

God has a purpose and plan for each of our lives. The greatest thing we can do is to find that purpose and live it out. We can trust his purpose for us because it is based on his wisdom and love. As long as we seek his will, we're not going to do anything that can ultimately mess up his purpose for us.
Yes, we may at times stray from the perfect channel he wants us to travel, but we never get totally out of the main channel. As long as we do not abandon him, and remember he will never forsake us, he will use us for his purposes.

"If we would talk less and pray more about them, things would be better than they are in the world: at least, we should be better enabled to bear them." - John Owen
