Jude 1:2
2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Dickens painted a compelling scene in Oliver Twist when the orphan asks for a second serving of gruel. “Please, sir, may I have another?” Do you pray like that? Please God, just a little, a crumb more of Your help?
That’s not how the Kingdom works. God doesn’t give a little, He overwhelms. Jesus doesn’t give just enough food for the multitude, there are baskets left over. Mercy, peace, and love don’t just drip down to us, the bounce around, overflow, and multiply. It seems we get so little only because we ask so infrequently. Pray, today, for that mercy, peace, and love to multiply.
Prayer prompt: Lord, thank you for providing for me in ways that multiply exponentially!
