We are taught when writing to avoid superlatives. People who use extreme adjectives like “fabulous,” “magnificent,” and “splendid” are usually exaggerating the situation. However, when the writers of the Bible spoke of the blessings of God upon His children, they used the strongest of terms they knew; here are a few examples:
—His love “surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19)
—His gift of salvation is “indescribable” (2 Corinthians 9:15)
—His life is “to the full” (John 10:10)
—His grace is “sufficient” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Paul, writing to the discouraged Corinthians, said that through God we are “made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God (II Corinthians 9:11).
Are you feeling down? Do you wish you had more of the riches of this world? Remember the superlatives of God!
About Me
Isaiah 43:19-21
"See I am doing a new thing! Now it spings up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise."
