God has Enriched You in Every Way

Alli … God has another Scripture for you that is packed with truths, starting with how God is enriching you in every way (yes, this is an EVERY Scripture). And while the Scripture starts with EVERY … it ends with INDESCRIBABLE (referring to his gift to you). So … let’s pray!

Good evening heavenly Father. Yes, it is truly a good evening. You have found a way to carve out this block of time for me to finish writing a prayer for your daughter you love! Thank you for being there for me like that. Thank you for always watching over me (while awake as well as while asleep). Thank you for letting me sleep well each night (I realize that I should not take this for granted as some people have a hard time sleeping). Thank you for the scripture for Alli, your daughter you love … first in the NET translation (the one I think is extremely accurate):

You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God, because the service of this ministry is not only providing for the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God. Through the evidence of this service they will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession in the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your sharing with them and with everyone. And in their prayers on your behalf, they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2Corinthians 9:11-15 NET)

Then in The Voice (same as the Bible I gave you … my favorite translation … very impactful):

You will be made rich in everything so that your generosity will spill over in every direction. Through us your generosity is at work inspiring praise and thanksgiving to God. For this mission will do more than bring food and water to fellow believers in need—it will overflow in a cascade of praises and thanksgivings for our God. When this mission reaches Jerusalem and meets with the approval of God’s people there, they will give glory to God because your confession of the gospel of the Anointed One led to obedient action and your generous sharing with them and with all exhibited your sincere concern. Because of the extraordinary grace of God at work in you, they will pray for you and long for you. Praise God for this incredible, unbelievable, indescribable gift! (2Corinthians 9:11-15 Voice)

Lord, it’s me. I’m still here! I’m here for Alli. I am praying on her behalf (just as the scripture says). And now I am ready to pray this scripture over you Alli, so sit down. Ready? Alli, God wants to enrich your life (which is much better than making you financially rich… I think). He wants to enrich your life in multiple ways. Why? Yes, because he loves you very much. But the scripture actually tells you why! He is enriching your life so that you may be generous… not just now and then, but on every occasion! And what happens when you are generous? It produces a thanksgiving to God by others! Others notice your service Alli. They notice you providing for the needs of everyone at the Legacy. As others see this, their thanks just overflows! Lord, I ask that you open many doors for Alli to serve others. Yes … I see that in you Alli … I see you serving. I see you being generous. Others see this in you as well. Lord, let them ask Alli why she is serving, why she is obeying, why she is so generous … and then Lord, give Alli the words as she answers their question! Alli … God has gifted you in many ways. He has shown you EXTRAORDINARY grace! His gifts to you are literally indescribable! Think about those incredible gifts. Ponder his unbelievable grace. And then join with me now to give the glory to God. The glory is all his. Glory! I pray this all in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen!
