Paths That Drip With Abundance

Here is America we celebrate the working people today, Labor Day 2013. This is a day of encouragement for me. Not because it is a holiday, but because God also celebrates His people doing His work. In Psalm 65 the writer tells us of God’s plan for those that seek Him. He acknowledges that we will slip up and sin, but that God will atone for those sins, which He has done now through Jesus. He goes on to speak about how it is God who chooses people for His work, and that God will bless that man in the sanctuary. Today, we are that sanctuary. He speaks of how in the sanctuary (now in us) we will enjoy His goodness. Perhaps the greatest encouragement for me comes at the end where He talks about what we encounter and that the meadows and the sheep in them even sing to God. In verse 11 it says that God crowns the year with goodness, and that God’s paths drip with abundance! How great is that! I cannot imagine not wanting to be on those paths.

Prayer
Father, thank You for Your goodness. Thank You for creating a place within us to house Your Spirit and Truth. Thank You for providing for You atonement of our sins. We pray and confess now that You forgive our sins, and that Jesus rule in our hearts. Crown our year with goodness, and let us walk on that paths that drip with abundance. In Jesus name. Amen.
