provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left
over to share with others." 2 Corinthians 9:6-9(NLT)
"The
one who plants generously will get a generous crop."
The first great revolution in human history happened when someone dropped some
seeds on the ground and thought, uh oh, I just wasted part of my meal for tonight, only
to discover that something more abundant grew from the seeds. The result was
farming and civilization. Before this, to deliberately throw something valuable onto the
ground looked foolish. But someone did and life happened. It has been said that all
human civilization has been built on this one observation. It is not a command. It is just
how things are. "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains a
solitary grain of wheat. But if it dies, it will be a rich harvest" (John 12:24). When I
plant what is for me something sparse into the soil of God's economy, then these two
things happen. . . . . . . . .
"And God will generously provide all you need"
"Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others."
"Lord, lead me to lead my family this week to be planters so that, as we do so, You will provide, probably not everything we want, but certainly everything we need. And as we do, thank you for the gift of having plenty left over to share with others.. Amen"
