Ask for and expect overflow: God wants to bless you to be a blessing
God loves to bless you so you can bless others. In today’s encouragement, Dianna Hobbs says, start asking Him for overflow. Believe Him to open Heaven’s floodgates and give you the kind of blessing you won’t have room to receive. Trust Him to enlarge you and expand you!
Why trusting God and reflecting on His goodness will help you be more grateful
The writer said in Psalm 77:12, “I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.” Reflecting, which means to think deeply or carefully about something, is incredibly helpful when you focus on God’s word and His goodness.
God never promised everything would be easy, but you can remain grateful anyway
God never promised everything would be easy. However, He did promise that He would cause everything to work together for our good when we love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Therefore, thank God that He is causing all this unpleasant stuff to work out for your good.
Devotion: God is doing something unusual
Don’t know what God is up to? Remain open and flexible. Let God do things His way. The route might be unconventional, but if you trust Him, He’ll open the floodgates of Heaven. He’ll send rain in the middle of your dry season and give you an amazing harvest in a time of famine!
