Learning How to Live with Much or with Little
The word of God instructs us to learn to live with much or to live with little Phil. 4:12 (to abound or to abase). It is much easier to live with much than to live in lack. It is however much more beautiful to live in lack and be contented, to depend on God and not freak out!
The beautiful part of living in lack is when you are able to once again purchase the simple basic things that you have had to do without for months and years. Suddenly they seem to take on added value and the simple things mean more to you now. Thank you Jesus!
God knows that if he gives us in abundance without us knowing the value or the cost, then most likely it will become a mess. It is like salvation without knowing or understanding what Jesus Christ actually did, it is like salvation without conviction, backsliding is easier.
Father, help us that we will not perish. Keep us steatfast in Jesus’ name. Amen
