I was reminded of this in one of my daily meditations this week (Springs in the Valley, April 18th)
God does never anything smalll. When He makes an ocean, He makes it so deep that no man can fathom it. When He makes a mountain, He makes it so large that no one can measure or weigh it. When He makes flowers, He scatters multiplied millions of them where there is no one to admire them but Himself. When He makes grace, He makes it without sides or bottom and leaves the top off. Instead of giving salvation with a medicine dropper, He pours it forth like a river.
When God sets out to do a thing for us, He does it with a prodigality of love-promted abundance that fairly staggers one who reckons things by coldly calculating standards of earth.
Whatever blessing is in our cup it is sure to run over. With the LORD the calf is always a fatted calf; the robe is always the best robe; the joy is always unspeakable; the peace passeth understanding; the grace is so abundant that the recipient has all-sufficiency for all things, and abounds to every good work.
How great it is to have this God as our Father. May the LORD through His Spirit help all of us daily to live from these abundant riches to bring glory to Him!
