During a recent school-shopping trip, our seven-year-old granddaughter asked, “What’s the budget?” Her grandmother asked, “Why do you want to know?” She replied, “I want to know if I spent enough!” Her financial savvy brought a smile to my face. But then I thought: How often do we relate to God as though He operates on a budget?
Sometimes we imagine God’s response to our needs is measured and limited. But God does not operate on the Budget Plan! His goodness is inexhaustible. Paul declares in Ephesians 3:20 that God “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” David understood this when he said, “My cup runneth over.”
So, when you come to God, don’t ask, “What’s the budget?” Remember: With God, there is no limit, just overflow!
