Psalm 65
Dive into Psalm 65 and discover that God designed you for a life marked by abundance, creativity, celebration and joy - not lack, weakness, sadness or stinginess. Get ready to break restrictive mindsets holding you back from the overflow God desires for you.
Summary:
In this business devotional from Psalm 65, we confront the all-too-common misconception among Christians that God expects us to live weak, somber and impoverished lives. Yet by examining verses throughout this Psalm, we reveal how the Bible paints a radically different picture of God's heart of abundance toward us, His children. From God's daily display of breathtaking creativity in sunrises and sunsets, to His desire for our lives to overflow with blessings into desolate places, we make an impassioned case for embracing abundance, joy and celebration as the standard for God's people. For entrepreneurs and business leaders especially, grasping this truth is essential for living within God's blessing and achieving the greatest Kingdom impact. By uprooting poisonous ideas of lack and replacing them with faith in God's unlimited supply, we'll gain fresh vision, renewed strength and bold courage to steward the full measure of gifts and influence He longs to pour through our lives. The devotional includes a vivid imagined scenario to illustrate just how deeply God delights in seeing His children thrive in grateful abundance. We'll come away realizing afresh that the God who gave us life daily loads us with benefits so we can celebrate extravagantly, live fully and spread Kingdom glory everywhere our footprint touches.
