“…wine that gladdens the human heart, oil to make faces glow, and bread to sustain their hearts.” ~ Psalm 104:15 (CJB)

In ancient Israel, bread was the staple of life — the everyday must-have. Without it, survival was impossible. Wine and oil, however, were not essentials; they were gifts of joy, beauty, and celebration.

God doesn’t stop at the bare minimum. He gives what we need… and then He gives more. He moves us from survival to flourishing.

Notice the results: hearts gladdened, faces glowing. This is a picture of rest, joy, and contentedness that overflow when God provides abundantly.

He is not the God of just-enough. He is the God of more-than-enough.
