Day 9

Thanksgiving creates abundance. The Lord wants to bless us. He wants to give us good things. He wants to give us an abundance. Does that mean He will give us a million dollars if we ask? Maybe, if it is for our good, if it is what we need, according to His will.

Remember the story of the feeding of the 5,000? One account is in John 6. A multitude of people had been following Jesus, and everyone was getting hungry, though it never states that the people were grumbling, or asking for food. Jesus just knew they needed food. No one had food, but one little boy, 5 loaves and 2 fish. Not much to cover 5,000 men, who were the only ones counted. There were woman and children as well, all equally hungry.

Jesus took that meager meal, and gave thanks. He gave thanks for what all knew was physically impossible to feed so many. But He gave thanks, and gave to each one...till they were full, and the dicsiples gathered up 12 baskets full of leftovers. Abundance as a result of giving thanks.

What is your need? What don't you have that you can give thanks to the Lord for? Thank Him for it. Thank Him for what you don't have and watch Him work. Thanksgiving creates abundance.
