A Lesson in Abundance
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.—Luke 21:4 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “One of the most serious and powerful facts in human nature is that you are likely to get what you are expecting.” If you spend years expecting things aren’t going to turn out well, most likely that is what will happen. Conversely, if you develop an attitude of faith and expectancy you will create conditions in which every good thing can and will grow.
Heavenly Father, because of You I can begin my day with expectation that I will have a wonderful day. Thank You for the tremendous difference You make in my life.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.—Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
