You are the children of the Lord your God… (Deuteronomy 14:1). 

I am a child of the King of kings.

He is the King of Endless Supply.

He has no lack, no deficiencies, no quotas. 

He IS Abundance! 

So why would I live like a pauper—scraping by and scrambling to provide for myself? Why would I live like an orphan—with a scarcity mindset? 

My Heavenly Father knows what I have need of before I even ask, and He has already promised to supply for all of my needs (Matthew 6:8; Philippians 4:19).

As a child of God, I should have a joy-filled, peace-filled, abundance mentality. With this mindset I can…

• … joyfully tithe (Deuteronomy 14:22, 15:19; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8) 
• … cancel the debts others have incurred with me (Deuteronomy 15:1-9; Luke 6:34; Matthew 6:12)
• … care for the poor around me (Deuteronomy 15:10-18; Luke 6:30; Acts 2:45) 

I’m not trying to build a bankroll here. My inheritance is secure in Heaven. As a child of the King of kings, I can expect Him to provide all I need. 

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. (Psalm 37:25) 

With the same measure I use to bless others, I will be blessed. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. (Luke 6:38) 

I need to live as a child of the Abundant King, not as a helpless orphan with no one on whom to call for help!
