Today’s verse is constantly in my mind. Lately, it is a verse that grieves me. Galatians 6:10 says, “Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!” (TPT). I think of this verse nearly daily as I ask myself the question what … Continue reading Every Opportunity

Multiplied Seed

Today, we are looking at 2 Corinthians 9:8, 10-11, and how God multiplies the seed as you sow it. The passage says: “Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm … Continue reading Multiplied Seed
Just Do It
When you have the power to do something for someone who deserves it, the Bible tells us to just do it. Help them. Do not withhold good. It sounds like a grand idea, but yet we often fall short.

There are people in need all around you. Did you see someone in need today? Most likely you didn’t because you were not looking. We live in a society that looks the other way. We are preoccupied with social media and too busy to see people right before us. Many times we are in our … Continue reading Don’t Look the Other Way
Good Withholding
We can all be a little self-centered. We can all get lazy due to over-exhaustion. There are moments when we do not feel like doing something. Today’s passage tells us not to without good from someone who deserves it. If it is in our power to help a person who deserves something, we are not … Continue reading Good Withholding
