“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8
Have you experienced the kind of day that is completely draining and leaves you feeling as though you have nothing left to give? They happen with some regularity in my world!
On a particular day, multiple emails and phone notifications demanded my attention. The living room was a tornado of craft supplies, toys, and clean laundry waiting to be put away. My patience with our three little ones dwindled as I tried to move them from chaos to calm for their afternoon nap. What I myself wouldn’t give for a bit of rest without someone needing something from me!
My one-year-old was resisting sleep a final time when I heard the Lord whisper, “I will give you what you need.” In that moment, 2 Corinthians 9 came to mind. I remembered how Paul said God doesn’t give merely enough of what we need for all things, but He blesses abundantly! Also, His provision is designed so that we can pour into others. In our moments and seasons of exhaustion, His strength fills our depleted hearts, equipping us to love, serve, and give beyond what we could imagine.
