ABUNDANCE

Scripture: You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing.--Psalm 145:16

Invitation:  Now take some deep cleansing breaths.  Slowly inhale.  Slowly exhale.  Slowly inhale all that is of God and exhale all that is not God.  Settle your mind and your spirit.  Be still and quiet and invite an awareness of God's presence.

Now read today's scripture very slowly.  Repeat 5 times.  Each times as you read, slow your pace. 
You open your hand, 
satisfying the desire of every living thing.
After the 5th time, only read or repeat the words that really resonate with you.  Repeat them over and over.  

Elaborate as you repeat these words; for example,
You, Lord
You, my Redeemer
You, my Sustainer
You, Jehovah Jireh
You, my Provider
You open your hand, 
From your hands flow your every need.
From your hands flow my every need...
Once again, make your reading of today's scripture personal.  What comes to mind for you when read this scripture.  Dwell on those thoughts.  Share your thoughts openly with God as you read and reflect on today's passage.  Discover what happens....

Listen to Enough by Chris Tomlin:  
 
PrayerJehovah Jireh, when you open your hands you satisfy my every need.  Faithful God, you care for me with great abundance.  Thank you for your perfect blessings which overflow.  I love you.  Amen. 

The Reverend Tiffney Marley
