The Key to Abundance

The Sea of Galilee and The Dead Sea are only about 65 miles apart from one another in Israel. But there is a world of difference between them. The Sea of Galilee is brimming with life. It waters are sweet, clear, and cool. It’s fisheries were prominent during the New Testament period and were famous throughout the Roman Empire. It’s shores were lined with a nearly continuous string of thriving settlements. The Dead Sea, on the other hand, is the antithesis of life. It’s waters are 7-10 times saltier than the oceans. Nothing lives in it; in fact, if you put salt water fish into The Dead Sea, they soon die. In antiquity it was known to some as the Stinking Sea, or the Devil’s Sea. The two seas have one striking similarity and one stunning difference, that being the Jordan River. This river flows into both of these bodies of water. It flows in the north end of the Sea of Galilee and out the south end. However, herein lies the difference. The Jordan River only flows into the Dead Sea; it never flows out. Nothing flows out of it. Do you get the irony and the analogy to abundance. Many people think abundance is about supply. Yes, supply is crucial. However, The Key to Abundance is not in the filling; it is in the flowing. It is what you allow to flow through you that gives you abundance, not what you can accumulate. If God can get it through you, He will get it to you. That’s The Key to Abundance.
