When you go down to the seashore, you find what is practically an unlimited supply of sea water at your disposal. There are billions upon billions of gallons there, but the amount that you can carry away will depend upon the vessel with which you have provided yourself. If you take a ten-gallon can, you can get ten gallons, but if you take only a pint pot you can take away only a pint, and if you have nothing bigger than a thimble, you would not be able to take away more than a thimbleful.
So it is with divine abundance. The only limit is the limit of our capacity to receive.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing (Psalm 145:16).
When we are fully receptive to God’s abundance, when we replace our will with God’s will, when we truly believe that God can and will grant all things (even the things we can’t imagine), then God grants us infinite abundance in all things for our best good. However, when we accept limitation, when we insist on following our own will, when we doubt that God will grant us everything and beyond for our lives, then we cut ourselves off from God’s abundance and depend on our small and finite capability for the things we need. Faith gives us a bucket bigger than the ocean in which we can receive God’s blessings, while doubt limits us to receiving only a thimble full of God’s grace, love and power. How large are our buckets?
