Do you ever feel like there are many good things you would like to do, but you just don’t have the time, resources and energy to do them? What if I told you that there is a bank where you can make withdrawals of time, energy, and resources but you will never find yourself overdrawn?
Such a bank, so to speak, does exist. It is called the grace of God. We can make unlimited withdrawals of time, energy, and resources, but we are limited in how we can use these withdrawals. We can only use them to do the good works that God has designed for us. If we try to use them for selfish reasons, then we will find ourselves overcommitted for the time available, worn out, and without the resources to continue.
Immediately after God’s Word says, “God loves a cheerful giver,” it says, “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” II Corinthians 9:8 So as we give our time, energy, and resources to do the good works of helping others, in His grace God is abundantly replenishing our supply. How much? All sufficiency. For what? All things. When? At all times. Why? So that we may abound in every good work.
Make a withdrawal today by doing some selfless act of kindness for someone. Then check your balance and see that God has replenished your supply.
