ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
November 25, 2020
Scripture: 2nd Corinthians 9:6-8
The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.

Thought for the Day: What is enough? That is one of the great questions that human beings have tried to answer ever since we started walking upright. As human beings started collecting more stuff, the line between need and want became much more gray. We argued and fought over those things that we perceived as needs, but were nothing more than selfish wants. The old adage remains true, ‘We should live simply so others may simply live.’ During this time of Thanksgiving, let us be mindful of how understanding the difference between our wants and needs will give rise to others having the basic necessities of life.

Prayer: Continue to work on my spirit of generosity, O God, so I might sow bountifully and see a world able to reap the benefits. Amen.
