God Is Rich!

God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)

Ephesians 2:4-5

God is rich in everything! And if you’re His child, then so are you! How’s that for good news in our struggling economy?

It’s true. God’s riches are vast and uncountable, and they all belong to His children. Those who love Him as Savior and Lord have all the benefits as heirs, and we can claim many parts of our inheritance today.

He makes His children rich in mercy, loaded with His kindness, wealthy in compassion, overflowing in grace, abundantly forgiven, and invested with hope. His affluence cannot be measured. We cannot fathom the lavishness of His love for us.

God is so magnificent and infinite, and we are so puny and poor. In His richness, He became poor for our sakes. He did not have to. Right now we can lay hold of all the riches He is pouring out upon us and trust that He will forever overflow those to us because He is inexhaustible. His wealth of wisdom, mercy, grace, love, and truth—everything good and right and pure and lovely—is ours through Christ. Because He loves us, He cannot help but give us His best.

Even though shoestring budgets are becoming the norm in our economy, God never operates on one. He doesn’t skimp and never shortchanges us or withholds Himself from us. He never has to pinch and scrape and save to keep His resources from running out.

As I list His riches off the top of my head, my heart starts racing with joy. My heart can hardly hold His wealth, but I can be thankful that every day He’s growing my heart larger to hold more of Himself.

Bank on being the richest girl in the world in Jesus Christ. No matter what your bank account holds today, you are wealthy by God’s Kingdom standards if you are His child. Ask Him for more of Himself today. Now take that to the bank!
