Running Over

Oct 05, 2021

Today’s Scripture

Luke 6:38, NIVGive, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.

Today’s Word

The Scripture talks about how as we give, we’ll be blessed in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. As you give of your resources, you’re about to come into those running-over blessings–with influence, resources, creativity, strength, health, and joy. God is a running-over God. He’s not a get-by God. He’s a more-than-enough God. You may not see how it can happen, but God has ways to bless you that you’ve never thought of.

When Peter needed money for taxes, Jesus told him to go to the lake and the first fish he caught had the money he needed in its mouth. Peter didn’t have to figure it out, and neither do you. God controls the whole universe. Just dare to believe. You may be thinking ordinary, but God is thinking overflow. You’re expecting the way it’s been, but God’s about to exceed your expectations. He’s about to do a new thing. You’re going to come into that running-over blessing where it’s nothing you did, it’s just the goodness of God.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for being the God of infinite grace who always exceeds my greatest expectations. Thank You that as I give freely of myself, You will bless me to the point of overflowing. I declare that I dare to believe that You are the more-than-enough God. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
