GOD'S GENEROSITY

ISAIAH 45:8 (MSG)
Open up, heavens, and rain.
Clouds, pour out buckets of my goodness!
Loosen up, earth, and bloom salvation;
sprout right living.
I, GOD, generate all this.


2 CORINTHIANS 9:10 (MSG)
God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God blesses us with more than what we need.

PRAYER
Generous God, I'm grateful that you are the God of abundance. There is never a shortage when dealing with you. Sometimes I let my imagination run wild and begin to think I need something I don't actually need. Pull me back to reality and remind me of all the ways that you are blessing me with more than what is necessary. I'm going to celebrate your generosity. Amen.
