A-More-Than-I-Expect-Life:
A
Proverbs Lifestyle of Abundance and Overflow
I have a garden, and God is supplying
weather that we need for my garden to flourish abundantly. God’s promises are
abundant and real. Just like in the natural world, in the spirit of my soul,
he's watering me like a beautiful garden. Water is needed in the garden
literally, and so it is required figuratively in our spiritual lives. I feel the
water and the flow of God moving in my life.
Lady Wisdom Speaks Academy is my
platform in which we learn ways to apply wisdom for our everyday lives. I want to live a Proverbs lifestyle of wisdom.
When I do that I’m able to make good and
sound decisions. Biblical meditation of the word of God specifically the book
of Proverbs, helps me to explore the words of wisdom. I’m also getting
downloads from the Holy Spirit on what this means to me so that I can learn. What is the proverb saying? Why is this proverb important and how to apply
this new revelation these nuggets of Truth to my everyday experiences?
Therefore, my days can become more successful - productive and creative.
I am really happy that I have
discovered this Proverbs lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of abundance. It’s just
been bringing me so much joy and peace. It makes life exciting. I am able to hear what God has for me. Whatever
God has for me makes life, not a burden. He says, “Come to me all that are
burdened and heavy laden. I will give you rest.” Christ promises us a lifestyle
that is not burdensome. You don't have to live with regret or with sin to get
happy. You don't have to do anything wrong. You could have a free conscience
that is not contaminated. He also promises us abundance.
Having all these good promises
through Jesus Christ and his lifestyle of Proverbs, you can be at peace and
rest. I truly believe that that's what people are seeking. But they're
looking for peace in all of the wrong places. Looking for love in the wrong
places, there is a song that says something like that. We need to draw close to God because that's
where the answer is. God is the answer
that we're looking for. It’s in the
presence of the almighty that we get energized we feel that Synergy. We feel
that uplift. Hallelujah! When we are tired and worn out, in the presence of God, He's able to water our spirit and give us what we need to move forward in Him. I am so thankful for God because he gives seed
to the sower which are the promises found in His word. It’s a good thing.
Today our focus is on this Abundant Life. I'm
going to share John 10:10 in the TPT version and it says, “A thief has only one
thing. He wants to steal, slaughter and destroy but I have come to give you
everything in abundance more than you expect life in its fullness until you
overflow.” God wants to put us into the Overflow life. I like that! I want a more-than-I-expect-life…In its
fullness, until it overflows. We have the
promise of God. That is what we can receive. Let me share it in the Amplified
version. It says, “The thief comes only wanting to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have and enjoy life.” Joyce Meyers, she talks about “Enjoying
Everyday Life”. That’s her slogan. Through the word, she gives you ways of how
to enjoy life.
The bible describes abundance, “to
the full till it overflows”. I am full but I can overflow. Hallelujah! It flows up that I have
so much to give that it is like a river overflowing its banks. In an overflow what
happens is that the trees, shrubs and any living plantings by the banks of
the river receive an extra dose of water. They get the overflow of the river. When
the waters subside those trees planted by the rivers become saturated so that
when the drought comes they are able to stand. These trees are able to survive
because they've already been nourished and strengthened. The roots have
actually gone down deeper into the riverbed. That reminds me of Psalms 1, “he shall be (or
she shall be) like a tree planted by the rivers of water that shall bring forth fruit
in the season. Her leaf shall not wither and whatsoever she does it shall
prosper.” That's the abundance word again - prospering. We can prosper by the
rivers of the Waters of life. It’s
through biblical meditation - thinking about God and cultivating a Godly
mindset. Establishing the mind of Christ in our hearts will bring up a well of
water that will keep us in the overflow. Amen!
