Someone Afar-Off Is Better Off Because Of You
“Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (Philippians 4:15-20)
Today’s Morsel: When I was living on the island of Okinawa, my wife, daughter, and I, went to Hawaii to see our son who was stationed there. At church on Sunday, I had shared our testimony and the mission of the military church of Okinawa, after service an elderly brother from the Philippines came up to me to share his testimony. He told me that during World War II, some GI’s had come through his village and one of them had given him a small Bible, he had kept it and over the years once he learned English and could read it, he saw his need for salvation. And that now he had repented of his sins, was baptized in the name of Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost, and he loved serving Jesus. Are you aware that it’s the small things you do that can make an impact on others? Just who is better off because you did some seemingly small thing for them?
Sing: I found a new way of living, I found a new joy divine, I have the fruit of the spirit, I am abiding, abiding, in the vine. Abiding in the vine, abiding in the vine; love, joy, health, peace, He has made them mine. I have prosperity, power and victory, abiding, abiding, in the vine.
Thought For Today: Don’t let the opportunity pass you by.
