Let's Go Back to the Bible

Another Round of Stimulus

Here we go again.  Many are waking up to find some extra money in their bank accounts.  As with previous stimulus checks, many folks are excitedly looking for something they can do with their newfound money.  What are you going to do with yours?  Regardless of what you think about the relief bill and the government mailing out stimulus checks, for just a moment, think about a possible spiritual application.

Imagine if you woke up every morning and found that God had deposited a brand new, full amount of spiritual relief in your spiritual bank account.  How would that make you feel?  What would you do with it?  While we would not necessarily use these terms to describe it, that is essentially what God does for us every day.

Every morning (as it were) God deposits a fresh, unearned, plush and infinite amount of His love into your account.  Oh, what a blessing that is!  It is truly a “great love” (Eph. 2:4), which is completely unsurpassed.  It’s rich, full and overflowing!  And it’s there just for you! 

Every morning (as it were) God deposits a fresh, unearned, plush and infinite amount of His grace into your account.  Oh, what a blessing that is!  When you look at all the zeros on the end of God’s grace, it is truly “exceedingly abundant” (1 Tim. 1:14), which is completely indescribable.  It’s rich, full and overflowing!  And it’s there just for you!

Every morning (as it were) God deposits a fresh, unearned, plush and infinite amount of His patience into your account.  Oh, what a blessing that is!  It is truly “all” there (1 Tim. 1:16) and “enduring” (Jer. 15:15), which is completely undeserved.  How we need God to be patient with us every day!  It’s rich, full and overflowing!  And it’s there just for you!

Every morning (as it were) God deposits a fresh, unearned, plush and infinite amount of His forgiveness into your account.  Oh, what a blessing that is!  As you look at it closely, it is continually flowing and continually cleansing you of your sin (1 John 1:7), which is completely overwhelming.  It’s rich, full and overflowing!  And it’s there just for you!          

Obviously, the list of Divine blessings that are bestowed upon us abundantly and lavishly every day could go on and on.  Can I ask you a question?  Do those extravagant, undeserved and incomparable doses of spiritual relief “stimulate” you?  Do they “stimulate” you to love the Lord, serve the Lord, sacrifice for the Lord, praise the Lord?  Do they “stimulate” you to look for opportunities to share these abundant blessings with others?  Finally, how much does it “stimulate” you to know that Someone else paid for you to get those “checks” every morning?
