When I go to a restaurant that serves food cafeteria style, I’m watching for different types of food servers. One measures the food out perfect before putting it on your plate. Another barely fills up the serving utensil with food. My favorite one is the one who puts a big, heaping spoonful of food on there! Sometimes they do that, then spoon some more on there. That person reminds me of who God is. He doesn’t give a little or just enough. We serve a God who gives all good things to us abundantly until our cup runs over. Every good and perfect gift He gives is given to us in a more than enough way. He doesn’t do it so we can hoard it though. He gives in abundance so we can give and bless others as well.
Here are some Bible verses on gifts God gives in abundance.
1. But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace.
Psalms 37:11 TPT
2. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
John 10:10 AMP
3. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV
4. Abundant life is discovered by walking in righteousness, but holding on to your anger leads to death.
Proverbs 12:28 TPT
5. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
Psalm 51:1 ESV
