Throughout the Bible God has shared that He wants to give us good things. Abound means to be FILLED with, to be RICH with… so how we get FILLED and RICH with these Good Things that God has in store for us?
1. Believe that God is a good God.
“And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.” Jeremiah 32:40 NLT
God will give us good things as His children because he’s already given us the gift to BECOME His children. What you believe about God will determine:
- What you ask from God.
- What you believe about yourself, others, places and things.
- What you receive from God.
When we sin, we shrink back from God. God hasn’t changed, but we have. His goodness for us never goes away, but we go away from him.
2. Hear God/good things!
Hear the Word, elevate your thinking, and then abound in good things. People believe what they hear. Guard your ear-gate so you are hearing only God things.
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 NKJV
3. Say God/good things!
Keep your speech positive. Avoid going negative or indulging in gossip, which blocks what God wants to do for you.

4. See God/good things!
How do you see things? Is the glass half full or half empty? Even if it seems difficult, choose to look for the good in all things.
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 NIV

Understanding comes through your heart, not your head. How deep the word goes in your heart determines the good things that will abound in your life!
