Grace for your spirit March 14, 2011

Grace for your spirit
And this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God. II Corinthians 8:5

The church in Philippi was struggling financially. When Paul was collecting for the needs in Judea, he didn't count on them for too much. He was surprised. How did they give beyond their ability, and beg for participation? He found that they first gave themselves to the Lord, and the Lord blessed them for their commitment. With the renewed blessings from the Lord, they were able to give beyond all expectation. When we commit ourselves to the Lord and His work, we can certainly expect blessings in our future. We will reap what we sow, so let's not forget where it came from?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
