Sow Bountifully

  

So why don’t we give more?   Is it the stories of those who embezzle funds from so called charitable organizations that turn you off?  Is it that feeling of fear of not having enough for yourself?  Whatever the reason, it’s important to examine our motives.  

Look at verse 8.  God is able to make all grace abound to you resulting in abundance for your mission (not for your collection).  Material blessings are a way to glorify God. Too many times we are about acquiring and collecting instead of cheerfully giving. 

Personal Reflection

What do you have in your possession that would benefit someone else in need?  What material item(s) do you have that receive your greatest affections?   
Prayer Focus

LORD, our God, we have brothers and sisters in true need.  Please reveal them to us and then give us the courage to let go of our stuff trusting your your abundance.  May God received all the glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
