16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. Romans 5:16-18
What do you have an abundance of in your life? I was watching a show about life in the 1800's and boy they didn't have much as far as personal belongings, and the pioneers trekking across the country had very little either, but they did have each other. When you think of what you have with God, do you have an abundance of what He has to offer, or do you feel like it is just barely enough. If I have ever learned anything in my life, I can never have too much of God in my life. I need the abundance He has to offer, especially when the enemy wants to keep me from Him. When I have doubt in my mind that God will provide the necessary protection, healing, or presence, I need to remember that He has given me the abundance of grace, which is all I need to help me grow and learn. The abundance of His love that provides protection, healing and presence is always there, we need to take a moment to see it, respond to it and reflect upon it. So when you don't think you have enough, remember you have an abundance.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
