It was one of those hot summer days when I had no control over the car. As
we drove past the Dairy Queen the lovely female voice of my GPS said,
"Turning right and stopping." Well, there we were parked in front of a
dazzling display of tempting posters. Who was I to argue? I fell prey to
the one flaunting a Peanut Buster Blizzard. One of D.Q.'s marketing tactics
is to give you a half an inch higher than the edge of the cup. That works
fine on normal days. Today was just plain hot and the instant the fans in
the car blew over that half inch bonanza, I was in trouble. Before I could
even stick out my tongue to catch the now melting ice cream I had a spray of
it all over my hands, my shirt, my pants and there was no way the napkin
could catch it. What a glorious mess and it just wouldn't stop. It kept
getting worse and worse.

I now bring new meaning to "my cup runneth over." Abundance which comes
quickly without proper preparation can often turn disastrous. Our lore is
filled with stories of lottery winners who quickly go from poverty to wealth
to poverty in a very short time. How often have we prayed for wealth? How
often have we promised God we would give huge amounts to His cause if He
would only rig circumstances in our favor? God is not a rigger. He is a
wise father who will supply our needs and sometimes add a little extra.

The Old Testament finishes with a very serious promise. Jesus tells us if
we are faithful, He will be faithful. If we show ourselves wise stewards of
a little, enough will come our way. One thing we must always remember. He
is the God of Enough.
