“Before God becomes satisfied with us, He will take everything of our so-called wealth, until we learn that He is our Source; as the psalmist said, “All my springs are in You” (Psalm 87:7). If the majesty, grace, and power of God are not being exhibited in us, God holds us responsible. “God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you…may have an abundance…” (2 Corinthians 9:8) — then learn to lavish the grace of God on others, generously giving of yourself. Be marked and identified with God’s nature, and His blessing will flow through you all the time.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917), Scottish author and pastor, in “The Habit of Recognizing God’s Provision” in My Utmost for His Highest reading for 16 May.
Today I will wrap up my teaching with the CBMC group highlighting ten workers in the New Testament who were known for their work and for their engagement in God’s work. My prayer for them when they head down the mountain is that each person will exhibit God’s generosity through their work.
I’d appreciate your prayers for safe travel too as I head to the East Coast on a late flight tonight.
