God Is In Control Of Your Resources - And He Can Multiply It!
I'm sure you often feel like me. I really want to live the life God intended me to and do what He created me to do, but I just don't have enough of anything! Not enough time, not enough money, not enough contacts.
What I forget and what you shouldn't forget is that all we have is from God. He gave us all that (and if you actually go and make a list I'm sure he blessed you beyond what you think you have!) and he promise in His word that he will multiply what He gave us if we start using it to build His kingdom.
Here's another bit of divine inspiration from Joel and Victoria Osteen that keeps me afloat when I feel that I don't have enough of something to serve God the way he asks me to:
"Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness” (2 Corinthians 9:10, NAS)
We serve a faithful God — He is the God of more than enough! Not only does He promise to meet your needs, He promises to give you enough to meet the needs of others, too.
When you are a sower — when you give of your resources, your time, talent, finances and possessions — God promises to multiply those resources so that you can continue to be a blessing to the people around you. You might look at what you have in your hand today and think, “This doesn’t look like much.” But understand that when you give God what you have, He’ll turn it into more than enough! The Bible tells us that Jesus fed a crowd of over 5,000 people by multiplying the lunch of a small boy, and He can multiply whatever you have in your hand, too.
Today, dedicate what you have to the Lord by faith. Ask Him where you should sow your seed so that you can be a blessing to others. As you do, He’ll continue to pour out His blessing and abundance on you, and you will live fulfilled and satisfied all the days of your life
Father in heaven, I dedicate everything that I have to You. Show me how I can be a blessing to others today. Thank You for Your abundant provision in every area of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
