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).
This raises the obvious question of “What kind of vessel are we”? Do we really believe that infinite abundance is available to us? Do we truly feel that we deserve infinite supply? Do we feel that unlimited blessings will be good for us?
Our thoughts beliefs and feelings are what constitute our vessels. They are what shape and mold our capacity to receive God’s blessings. Our actions determine how we fetch and use our blessings and God’s infinite grace.
The Bible affirms God’s desire that we live abundantly in joy and gladness each day. When we claim God’s blessings, accept our right to them and grow our capacity to receive them, then they will flow abundantly into our lives. This does happen because we are perfect. It happens when we follow God’s will, believe God’s promises and act accordingly.
