94. Without Any Reckoning
The Qur’an says,
“God provides whomever He wishes without any reckoning.” (Qur’an; 3:37)1
But often, we look at our situations and think, “I will never get ahead. I am so far in debt, I will never get out.” No, His blessing is not according to what you have; it is according to what He has. God will supply our needs according to His riches. The good news is that
“God is all-sufficient, all-laudable.” (Qur’an; 2:267)2
He owns it all. One touch of God’s favor can blast you out of barely enough and put you into more than enough. God has ways to increase you beyond your normal income, beyond your salary and beyond what’s predictable.
Now quit telling yourself, “This is all I will ever have. I will never make it.” Let go of the past and choose to have an abundance mentality. Declare, “This is not where I am staying. I am blessed. I am prosperous. I am headed to overflow; I am headed to the land of more than enough according to His riches in glory!”
Almighty God can change the situation immediately as He did for Zachariah.
“Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you the good news of John, as a confirmer of a Word of God, eminent and chaste, a prophet, among the righteous.” He said, “My Lord, how shall I have a son while old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren?” He said, “So it is that God does whatever He wishes”. (Qur’an; 3: 39-40)3
Therefore, ask your Lord hopefully and be patient. Thank Him for His unconditional love and grace toward you. Thank Him for being faithful even when you fall short.
Today choose to rise up and believe that Almighty God is blessing you according to His riches in glory.

فَنادَتْهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ هُوَ قائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمِحْرابِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحْيى مُصَدِّقاً بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ سَيِّداً وَ حَصُوراً وَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الصَّالِحين. قالَ رَبِّ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لي غُلامٌ وَ قَدْ بَلَغَنِيَ الْكِبَرُ وَ امْرَأَتي عاقِرٌ قالَ كَذلِكَ اللَّهُ يَفْعَلُ ما يَشاء.
