Not half full or full but overflowing

UV 334/10,000 Amazing principles of the Uni-verse verse by verse: The experience of abundance 2Ch 1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly Each of us is a magnifying lens in the hands of God. He uses us to magnify His Name and His glory. The fact that the Lord, our God is with us is sufficient to guarantee and establish our exceeding greatness. He strengthened Solomon by giving him a share or portion of His wisdom, power and love. That portion the Lord gave Him made Him exceedingly great. His enemies were cut off before him. He had peace all round his kingdom. His kingdom prospered in an unprecedented way. His wisdom attracted foreign visitors. His reputation travelled far beyond his domestic boundaries. The Lord expands our boundaries in every direction. We need not seek the Lord’s wisdom, power and love. Instead, we just ask that the Lord remain with us and in us. His presence in us and with us will distinguish us from the rest of mankind. We will prosper in whatever we do. Our foes, rivals or enemies will see that the Lord’s hand is upon us and they will not mess with us. In the world, the perspective is to think in terms of a half full or a full glass. But, in the kingdom, we have an overflowing experience of exceeding greatness. What else can we expect when the Lord is with us. The widow’s oil jar blessed by the prophet Elijah overflowed with oil. The wine overflowed in the banquet at Cana. The fish overflowed to the point of bursting in the net of Peter. The food overflowed when the Lord multiplied the loaves and fishes. When the Lord abides with us, we abound and are bound to live the abundant life. Prateep V Philip
