Our Abundant God



God is the Creator of all things

Every living thing that moves or sways

Everything that grows and dies


The universe

Every system expansive and minute

From the cosmos to the bacteria


Visible and invisible

Things in heaven and things on earth

Spiritual and corporeal



God is the Sustainer of all things

God has not set up the universe and walked away from it

God isn’t twiddling His thumbs waiting for the world to come to an end

God is actively involved in every detail of our lives


The middle 

Between the beginning and the end

is just as important as the beginning and the end


For

God has us in the palms of His hands

God collects all our tears and prayers

God knows the number of strands on our heads at every moment

God knows our every moment and is present with us in each

The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with wordless groans

Jesus is interceding for us at the right hand of God


God is attentive to us 

His eyes watch us wherever we go

He is ever with us

Ever present


God has gone before us

God is besides us

He is above us

Below us

Behind us

All around us

God is in us



All things will come to an end 

God will welcome us home

Welcome us into His loving embrace

He will declare that we have completed our journey

He will crown us with His glory

He will give us a unique name only known to Him and to us



This GOD

The One who is 

From everlasting to everlasting

He truly has the whole world in His hands

What could we possibly need?


He loves us so much that

He saw our unformed bodies before the foundation of the world was set

He knit us together in our mother’s womb

He knew our 

Every moment

Every thought

Every word

Every action

Before any of them came into being


We are the apple of His eyes

He loved us so much that

He gave His One and Only Son

To live among us

Immanuel


To experience what we experience

The Great High Priest

To empathize with us

To die for us

To rise from the dead

To save us


He gifted us with His Holy Spirit

To succor us

To comfort us

To live within us

To teach and convict us

To give us life from within

Enabling us to live new life


This very same God

How would He not also 

Graciously give us all things in Christ Jesus


This abundant God

The God of abundance

What else could we possibly need

What else could we possibly ask for


Nothing

None

Zilch



Scarcity be gone


For there is no lack in God

And through Christ

We can do all things

According to the wonderful will of God


The Alpha and the Omega

The Beginning and the End

Every beginning middle and end


God is with us

God is for us

God is in us


This God of abundance


Is 

Our 

God
