Unlimited Supply
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
And [so that you can know and
understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of
His power in and for us who believe…
Ephesians 1:19, AMP.
TODAY’S WORD
If I had a thousand gallons of water
to give you but you only had a one-gallon container, you wouldn’t be able to
receive what I had for you. The problem would not be with the supply. It would
be with your ability to receive. If you would get rid of the small container
and get something larger, I could give you so much more.
It’s the same way with God. We might
have a tendency to think, “The economy is down. I could never afford that house
I really want. My business will never expand. I don’t have the funding. I don’t
have the people behind me.” No, you’ve got to get rid of that one-gallon
bucket. Get rid of that small container. The God we serve is a big God! He has
an unlimited supply. Jesus said, “According to your faith it will be done unto
you.” It’s not according to God. God has all the power, all the resources in
the world. It’s according to what we believe.
Today, increase your capacity to
receive. Enlarge your thinking by meditating on the Word of God. Praise Him and
magnify Him because with God all things are possible, and He has an unlimited
supply!
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for Your unlimited
supply of everything I need in this life. I open my heart to You; I choose to
take the limits off. Increase me so that I can receive every blessing You have
in store for me in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

“Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.” (Luke 16:10 NLT)
Servants do every task with equal dedication. Whatever they do, servants “do it with all their heart” (Colossians 3:23).
The size of the task is irrelevant. The only issue is, does it need to be done?
You will never arrive at the state in life where you’re too important to help with menial tasks. God will never exempt you from the mundane. It’s a vital part of your character curriculum. The Bible says, “If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody” (Galatians 6:3 NLT).
It is in these small services that we grow like Christ.
Jesus specialized in menial tasks that everyone else tried to avoid: washing feet, helping children, fixing breakfast, and serving lepers. Nothing was beneath him, because he came to serve. It wasn’t in spite of his greatness that he did these things but because of it, and he expects us to follow his example (John 13:15).
Small tasks often show a big heart. Your servant’s heart is revealed in little acts that others don’t think of doing, as when Paul gathered brushwood for a fire to warm everyone after a shipwreck (Acts 28:3).
He was just as exhausted as everyone else, but he did what everyone needed. No task is beneath you when you have a servant’s heart.
Great opportunities often disguise themselves in small tasks. The little things in life determine the big things. Don’t look for great tasks to do for God. Just do the not-so-great stuff, and God will assign you whatever he wants you to do.
There will always be more people willing to do “great” things for God than there are people willing to do the little things. The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants.
Sometimes you serve upward to those in authority, and sometimes you serve downward to those in need. Either way, you develop a servant’s heart when you’re willing to do anything needed.
