Far More Abundantly

Scripture Focus

“And he said to them, ‘Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.’”— Luke 12:15 (ESV)

Additional Scriptures:

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us…” — Ephesians 3:20

“No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” — Psalm 84:11

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1

Devotional Reflection

We often read Luke 12:15 as a warning about greed—and it is. But it’s also an invitation to see abundance differently. Not as something earned, but as something already received in Christ.

What if we’ve been measuring abundance the wrong way?

In Christ, we have been given everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). We lack nothing essential. His power within us is already working, doing far more than we could ask or imagine. The promise isn’t that we’ll have every earthly comfort—but that we’ll never lack the goodness He knows we need.

Psalm 84:11 declares it boldly: He withholds no good thing. That means if we don’t have it, we don’t need it. God’s provision is never stingy, always sufficient. And when we live from this reality, contentment naturally follows—not as forced discipline, but as joyful response.

Sacred simplicity isn’t just about stripping life down—it’s about waking up to the exceedingly abundant grace already present in Christ. You are not lacking. You are not forgotten. You are fully supplied in Him.

Inhale Truth, Exhale Trust

Breath Prayer: Inhale: You are my abundance…Exhale: I lack no good thing.

How to Practice a Breath Prayer:

1. Find a quiet place and sit still before God.

2. As you inhale, thank Him for one spiritual blessing you’ve received.

3. As you exhale, surrender any anxiety about what feels missing.

4. Repeat this prayer throughout the day as a reminder of your fullness in Him.

Practical Application

Write a list titled “Already Mine in Christ.” Include both spiritual realities (forgiveness, peace, access to God, hope, eternal life) and tangible evidences of grace in your daily life. Reflect on what it means to truly “lack no good thing.”

Journal Prompt

Where are you tempted to believe you’re missing out? How might God be inviting you to see the hidden abundance already present in Him?

Closing Prayer

Lord, thank You for being more than enough. I confess how easily I forget the riches I already have in You. Teach me to trust that You withhold no good thing, and to rest in the beautiful truth that I am not lacking—I am loved, supplied, and held. Amen.

Invitation to Live with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

Truth reminds us that in Christ, we have more than we could ever need. Goodness flows from a God who gives without holding back. Beauty appears when we stop striving and start receiving. Today, rest in what’s already yours.
