You are next in line

For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof (Psalm 50:10-12).

Suppose you have just heard of someone whose financial debts have been miraculously cleared. Or perhaps your elated friend has just told you that despite being an average student in school, he scored straight As in all his subjects.

Do you ever wonder when it will be your turn when you see or hear others being blessed? Do you find yourself saying “Why am I not getting this same blessing that my brother had. Father are you still there?”

Just because man’s economy operates on the principle of shortage does not mean that God operates in like manner. So the next time somebody gets blessed, tell yourself, “I’m next in line to be blessed so I won’t be jealous”.

Always remember that God does not have to bless anyone at your expense. Nor does He have to bless you at anyone’s expense. We therefore shouldn’t be jealous of each other. There is a portion that is always reserved for you.

Our God is rich. He owns the whole universe. He has contacts and blessings you do not know of and which are reserved just for you! There is more than enough for everybody with plenty of leftovers. In fact, you will not be able to take it all because when the blessings start coming in, they will come in a net-breaking, boat-sinking style. You will have to call for your friends in the other boats to come and help you (Luke 5:1–7)! That is the kind of blessings that our God gives. So get ready for your blessings and overflowing abundance because you are next in line!
