Lately I’ve been pondering how my perspective is one of scarcity rather than abundance. I’m waking up to this mindset through God’s living word that speaks to me through prayer and scripture during our time together each morning. My recent request to God has been to be loyal and faithful in all the circumstances of my life. This desire of mine has been one of many throughout the ages.
One motif in Scripture is persistence, the passionate desire for deliverance, the cry of the heart toward the God from whom the people feel alienated. What Jesus announces in his first sermon, and what he demonstrates throughout His life and ministry, is that this wild desire of his ancestors, this hope against hope, this intimate union of God and humanity, is an accomplished fact, something that can be seen and heard and touched.
Today I’m seeing with eyes of abundance knowing that through Jesus Christ, God is with us. The loneliness and fear are put to rest as I cling to my stronghold of faith and am loyal to God’s promises.
Thank you, Lord, for giving me the desire to be loyal and faithful to You.

Good stuff, Cynthia! Reminds me of “Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:9 NLT
