God is a lavish giver! He can bless all other people in the world with plenty and still bless you with more than enough. We can never out-take God for His blessings are never ending. He is so full and He is always waiting for His beloveds to take from Him.
One way we take from Him is to draw from Him by sitting at His feet to listen to His word. That's the one thing that Mary did and Jesus took noticed of it and this event was recorded in the bible for our learning. Though Mary seemed to be doing nothing yet Jesus praised her for taking from Him and rebuked Martha for been too careful and worried about many things.
Now, Jesus didn't rebuked Martha for preparing the meal for Him and His disciples, but for been not restful within. God cares about our shalom peace more than anything else for out of a tranquil heart, comes mighty exploits of the Lord. When we are so restful within, God will be able to guide us in all our endeavors as we will be sensitized to His prompting and leading within or without. The chiefest thing Jesus wanted His disciples to have was to have His shalom peace.
The bible says Jesus bequeathed His peace to His disciples. This is the peace which the world cannot understanding and comprehend. Jesus is always restful and never hurried. Even when a "demand" was placed on Him in the case of the death of Lazarus, Jesus was able to look to Abba Father for His miraculous working power to raise Lazarus from the dead! When the five thousand men, not counting women and children, were hungry, Jesus simply took the five loaves and two fishes of a boy and blessed it and fed all the people there with twelve baskets full left for His disciples! That's our rich God!
Be conscious of the presence of Jesus in our lives for greater is He who lives in us than he who is of the world. Be conscious of the constant supply from God. All that we ever needed are been supplied by God. There is sufficient grace for today. Don't worry about tomorrow for there is only grace for today and when tomorrow becomes today, God's grace will be there to see us through! It is like the manna principal in the old testament. The manna was always supplied in the morning and it was always fresh.
The children of Israel never lack anything when they were wondering and wandering in the wilderness when they were under the unmerited, undeserved and unearned favor of God. God provided for their clothing so much that even their shoes were never worn out. These are just pictures of the grace of God before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the cross. What more we who are under the new covenant where we are the righteousness of God in Christ through the sacrificial work of Jesus at the cross.
Expect good things to happen to us for this is what the bible says: the path of the righteous shall shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. Also, the bible says all things will work out for good for those in Christ. Not all things pleasant, pleasurable, or even good, BUT God will cause all things to work out for our good! Hallelujah!
