SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 Corinthians 9:10-15

¹⁰ God is the One who gives seed to the farmer and bread for food. He will give you all the seed you need and make it grow so there will be a great harvest from your goodness. ¹¹ He will make you rich in every way so that you can always give freely. And your giving through us will cause many to give thanks to God.¹² This service you do not only helps the needs of God's people, it also brings many more thanks to God.¹³ It is a proof of your faith. Many people will praise God because you obey the Good News of Christ—the gospel you say you believe—and because you freely share with them and with all others.¹⁴ And when they pray, they will wish they could be with you because of the great grace that God has given you.¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his gift that is too wonderful for words.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord Jesus, hear our earnest prayer this day. May You, the supreme example of persevering love, help us to daily nurture persevering love in our human relationships. May we be loyal to our partners, always looking to their interests above our own. May Your grace help us to live above the fall-out that comes from inevitable trials. Enable us to overcome daily temptations as we rely on You. As we genuinely seek You we are confident that You will grant understanding, forbearance, and a persevering love that will last a lifetime until You call us to our eternal home where we will be richly and eternally rewarded.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH---
