Rivers Full of Water Psalm 6:9-11

Psalm 65:9-11

You visit the earth and water it;

you greatly enrich it;

the river of God is full of water;

you provide their grain,

for so you have prepared it.

You water its furrows abundantly,

settling its ridges,

softening it with showers,

and blessing its growth.

You crown the year with your bounty;

your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.

Father, You are characterized by abundance. Vs. 9-13

We do not have a resource problem, we have a distribution problem.  Yet my default is to horde, to worry about having my fair share, etc.  Yes, I would say, in the new heaven and new earth there will be enough for all, but now things are in a mess...do I not believe that the kingdom is present now?  Do I believe that man, or fate, or circumstances are the guiding force in all things? Or, do I believe that You, even now, in these times are ultimately in control, that it is You on whom I must lean and not on my own reserves, stuff, skill, fortune, wisdom, and hope?

As Greg Boyd says, it doesn't matter what I say I believe, the question is how do I live?

2 Cor 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

**3/3/20 This is one of what I hope will be a regular entry in my blog.  This is a shift from what I have done in the past which has mostly been episodic accounts of things I experience in life.  I may continue to post more of the same from time to time, but the drift of the blog, at least for now, will be my observations, prayers, questions, and grappling with the Bible as I read through it over the next two years with some friends.  We are together following a 2 year reading schedule and meeting monthly to compare notes.  Your comments are welcome and if you are interested in what the reading schedule looks like reply in comments and I will be glad to send it to you.
