What more would he not do?

"If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow - to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him - then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you." - Deut 11:22-23

If God is willing to drive out nations before you, and dispossess those larger and stronger than you, and send his only son to die on the cross for us, what more would he not do for us? Nothing! So as long as we follow the Lord with all our heart, we will always be in abundant in life.

I am reminded of John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

"He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!" - Mark 12:27

Our God is indeed God of the living, for he prepares us to live for eternal life. Following Christ is about dying to the old self, and living in the new self with Christ.

PRAYER:
"Dear Heavenly Father, how great are thou is your generosity to give us so much. Lord, as you freely give, grant us the wisdom to help us see that the things you give are the eternal treasures in heaven, and not according to the value of things that the world assigns. Father, may your grace and mercy continue to be with me in all the days for I know that your little one is unworthy of your smallest acts of loving kindness. Abba Father, prepare us for the eternal life in heaven and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil on Earth. Amen."
