God’s Word for Today – 13 Mar 2024
Luke 6:34 KJV — And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today – 13 Mar 2024
God has a very high but surmountable bar for measuring the acceptable type of giving and to whom. And God models how this works by causing His sun to shine on all, both rebels and the faithful alike. He sends His rain upon all, both the wicked and the righteous alike without discrimination. Jehovah’s expectation of those who are His children is to emulate this behaviour and be gracious in giving, even to those who may not deserve it. He expects them to do it without expecting any reward or payback. He wants them to do it as proof that they belong to Christ and to glorify Jehovah. Now you ask “how is this possible?” And I say the answer is not farfetched. If you are in Christ you can draw grace from the Holy Spirit to enable you do what is beyond you. And if you are not in Christ, you can surrender to Him today and ask Him to be your Saviour and Lord.
Pray: Heavenly Lord, please release grace upon me to be gracious unto all in every sphere of living. #Mok
