I think us humans are so afraid of losing everything that we seek to have and control whatever we can so that we feel safer. We all seek to have more than enough to try and scratch this itch but it doesn't satisfy.
So,
We hoard more stuff,
We reserve more money,
We eat more than we need,
We seek fleeting pleasures,
We cling to people,
We try to do more,
We try to be more,
We chase the wind.
But life shows us that this rarely works, if only to make us forget our fear for a moment. There is an abundance that we can seek and will satisfy. We tend not to because we can't see Him and often forget Him until we get desperate again.
We were made for Him. To seek Him. To enjoy His abundance. In our Father God there is more than enough love, comfort, power, grace, purpose and joy.
In Psalm 23 David says that with God as his shepherd he has no lack at all, that his, "cup overflows."
What do you need of God's abundance?
