“All Grace Abound”
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work” 2 Corinthians 9:8. Perhaps it’s human nature to see what we don’t have? Or envy what we see others have? Coming from a small mission church, I was amazed at all my new work had to offer, but I soon realized that many in this mid-sized church spoke as if we had no assets at all. What about the huge auditorium set-up to broadcast our classes and worship services? The kitchen, library, stocked classrooms, offices, multipurpose room, 14-passenger van, and a very active closet & pantry that is kept full by very generous donors? We even have a popcorn machine! And don’t forget the many mature Christians with deep Bible knowledge and experience conducting ministries, some whom are teaching our youth! Many cry for more, though, without using what God has given us already. We can misuse it and lose it as David did in 2 Samuel 12:8, but it’s also true that if we don’t use it, we will lose it. God is able to make all grace abound to us so that we may abound in our personal ministries. How are you using what God has given you?
