Psalm 13:6

HE HATH DEALT BOUNTIFULLY

Psalm 13:6. “I will sing unto the Lord, Because He hath dealt bountifully with me.” HE HATH DEALT BOUNTIFULLY. All is not going well, Darkness is pressing hard against me. The many faces of evil are all looking – They are watching like animal eyes in the darkness.

From deep within, despair rises; Fear is having its way with my soul. This aloneness is starting to overwhelm me – The enemies seem to have the field.

Where are You, Lord? Can You hear me? Will You hear me? Because I can see no solution. Is that light I see – Yes, beyond the darkness is light – Encircling the darkness on every side is light.

This dark spot is only a bubble in an ocean of light. It does not affect the light at all – light still shines. Foolish me – I was only looking at the darkness – At the enemies and at myself!

God truly has made every provision – there is no lack. Grace is still flowing like a river – Its endless supply comes from a bountiful God Who has directed its fullness toward me!

The fullness of divine love has not been diminished. Faithfulness, giving full provision for every need, continues. How could I have doubted? I looked at the wrong things. My eyes, my heart, my voice testify to the bounty of God.

“O God of all provision, I have all things in Christ, I have every need supplied, I have full and sufficient to extend the hand of God's grace to me- to others. In this day before me. There are people I will see and speak to who need to be reminded of God’s bounty. I want to pass on this truth without being patronizing or demeaning in any way. Give me, I pray Thee, words of wisdom, Christ-like words to lift sorrowing spirits and weak hearts, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
