Enjoy All Things
I have been meditating two scriptures that I want to share with you that God dropped in my heart in the shower the other day. They are both related to the word “richly” and they came about as a result of the word “enjoy.” I have personalized them for my own meditation.
1 Timothy 6:17b
…God gives me richly all things to enjoy. Amplified Bible: …God richly and ceaselessly provides me with everything for my enjoyment.
Colossians 3:16
I let the word of Christ dwell in me (have its home in my heart and mind) richly in all wisdom.
And in connection with verse 16 I added v. 15
I let the peace of God rule in my heart.
Rule: Act as umpire continually, deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in my mind.
The Greek word for richly in the Strong’s Concordance means copiously, abundantly. It comes from the word that means wealthy; figuratively, it means abounding with. It comes from the root word which means wealth as fullness, money, possessions; figuratively it means abundance, richness; specifically it can mean valuable, bestowments, riches.
Today realize that God gives you abundantly ALL THINGS TO ENJOY, and that includes earthly stuff such as money and possessions. Wealth is no big deal to God as long as it does not become a big deal to you. It is simply a tool for provision for our enjoyment.
ENJOY!
