All human endeavors depend on God's common grace.

If you believe in Jesus, you will find that God has nourished in you mighty torrents of blessing for others.

Love trumps fear, laughter trumps tears, and abundance trumps loss.

Christ has already placed in my storehouse everything that I need.

A joyful life of grace toward others grows best in the soil of gratitude. When I really reflect on who I am, when I take time to consider the grace that I couldn't have earned, achieved, or deserved but which has been lavished on me, and when I remember that that grace came at the cost of the life of another, then I am joyfully motivated to give that grace to others.

So gathering after gathering is intended to so enthrall you with the grandeur of God's grace that you can't think of anything better than being a tool of that grace in the lives of others.

During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.

So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.

When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.

since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.

You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,

If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
