Marmalade

Today I saw a picture of a jar of marmalade making me think of expressions like " the icing on the cake" and "the cherry on the top", indicating that extra final layer of delight. Marmalade spread on bread and butter can also signify that. God wants us to expect times of lavish provision from Him. We sometimes just settle for average or below average. If we never expect for more then we have less chance of receiving it. Apostle Paul expressed a good balance, "I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:12-13).
