God offers us abundance through His Son, Jesus. Whether or not we accept God’s abundance is, of course, up to each of us. When we entrust our hearts and our days to the One who created us, we experience abundance through the grace and sacrifice of the Son, Jesus. But when we turn our thoughts, and our energies away from God’s commandments, we inevitably forfeit the spiritual abundance that might otherwise be ours. What is your focus today? Are you focused on God’s Word and His will for your life? Or are you focused on the distractions and temptations of a difficult world? The answer to the question will to a surprising extent, determine the quality and the direction of your life and day. If you sincerely seek the spiritual abundance that our Savior offers, then follow Him completely and without reservation. When you do, you will receive the love, the life, and the abundance that He has promised. Let us ask God to give us the courage to claim the spiritual riches that He has promised, and to lead us according to His plan for our lives, today and always. — John 16:23-24
