Scarcity verses Abundance

In this age of economic down turn and political, national and world wide unrest, scarcity thinking is running rampant. It seems that if we have grown up in a community of lack, we revert back to that thinking when we are pressed. Circumstances then determine what is impractical and pragmatism of the 'real' must be applied. Hope, risk and creativity are not just muted they are outlawed.

Steven Covey, author of Principled Centered Leadership, describes these mindsets with great clarity. Abundance thinking is hope and trust centered. It was established from the very foundations of the earth and is brilliant with its application. Brilliant as acting on its behalf sheds light in a seemingly ever darkening landscape and brilliant that same action leads us in better directions.

The people of God have the confidence of faith, to invest themselves and their human capital in ways that honor abundance thinking and other foundational principles. They are all based on the unshakable, unfailing, never ending love that comes from above. These are times prepared for such a people. How and where can you invest yourself that would allow yourself to shine?
