‘I
have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you
did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and
olive groves which you did not plant.’
Joshua 24:13
- JANUARY 17 -
YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED
God is more willing to bless you than you are willing to be blessed! In
fact, He is so keen for you to enjoy His abundance that in His mind,
giving you over and above what you need is a settled matter.
God has already promised: “I have given you a land for
which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you
dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did
not plant.”
He did not say, “I may give,” which means that it may or may not
happen, but He said, “I have given,” which means that it has already
happened. It is only a matter of time before your revelation of what you
have through the work of Christ brings forth the abundance that He has
already blessed you with.
A brother in the United States wrote in to share how he needed to buy a
car, but had only half the amount of money needed. He kept calculating
and strategizing, but the sums just weren't adding up. He finally quit
trying to make it happen and just rested in the Lord's love and ability
to provide for him. Weeks later, he was able to buy a car that was two
years newer than what he had wanted, at exactly the amount that he had!
My friend, expect divine provision in your life because you are already
richly blessed in Christ. Jesus took your place of poverty at the
cross—“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He
was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His
poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9) In Him, you are poor no
more.
So stop looking at the lack in your natural resources. Look to the
cross and say, “Because of Jesus' finished work, I can expect to walk in
all of His blessings!”
