In want and Plenty by Meredith McDaniel

 In Want + Plenty: Waking Up to God's Provision in a Land of Longing

Waking up to God's Provision in a Land of Longing

You will get as much out of this book as you want to put into it. This is a book packed full of insights and hope and help, but you must be willing to get help and to look for the good in your life. 

There are questions to ponder throughout the book that allow you to look back and learn and challenge you to see the manna that is in your life. Using the book of Exodus as a guide Meredith walks us alongside God's people to show us how God is at work in our own story and we can trust him to lead us right. She also challenges us to see the good in our life, the manna as she calls it, those things that bring us joy and remind us we are not alone.

"We lose sight of who we were created to be when we fail to remember we have a Creator."

"Rest comes in the stillness of surrender, when we relax and realize we cannot hold it together. Opening our hands to what Jesus has for us in the moment versus what we think we need breeds peace. When we learn to live in abundance instead of scarcity, a calm comes over us. We can start to hear God whispering for us to lean on him and lay down all the thoughts that are swirling. We start to breathe again in the silence".

I just really enjoyed this book and would recommend it if you are wanting some help to see how God is working in your life right here, right now.  

I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions are my own.
