I have always thought that one of the biggest lies – if not the biggest lie – is the one of the rules of economics – the law of scarcity. Essentially, scarcity is the idea that there is not enough for everyone and everything that exists in this world.
I remember hearing this in elementary school and having a major problem with the theory. I did not understand at the time, but how can I believe in and worship a God who created a world where there is not enough for all of His creation? If I believe that He is a loving God who loves everything He created, then that version of love is a bit twisted. What type of Creator does that?
I believe that the idea of scarcity is man-made, and if you believe it, then you will never have enough. God is Jehovah-Jireh, which means that He is a Provider. We must believe that there is abundance, and that is where God lives. He lives in abundance. If we live in Him, then we also live in abundance.
He is a God who created the earth from nothing. He is a God who spoke creation into existence. If God can speak the earth into being, then I am POSITIVE that he can resolve any shortage in my life and in yours. We must think abundant thoughts, and believe that God wants us to have all that we can imagine and even more.
What abundant thoughts have been on your mind?
