Read … Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Remember … You, God, are the Harvester. You created all things, and You cause all things to grow. You are a jealous God, desiring to be honored and worshiped above all things. I worship and honor You today as King and Lord.
Reflect … You overwhelm me with Your sufficiency and goodness. The way You create, grow, mature, and nurture is amazing. Thank You for taking little and making much. Thank You for taking the imperfect and making it perfectly useful for Your kingdom. Thank You for making me and for growing me into a tool that can be used by You.
Renew … God, make all grace abound in me. When others look at me, I want them to see You not me. When I give of my time, my talents, or my resources, allow others to see the sufficiency of Your grace in my life. Let them see an abundance of You reflected in me and lived out each day in everything I do, say, and think! Help me generously sow what You’ve so graciously given me as an outpouring of my love and gratitude for You. In the name of my Savior, Master, and Lord, Jesus, amen.
I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God’s failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.
William Carey
