STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   Ephesians 3:20        
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think….”  We often shortchange God by failing to remember what Paul says here: God can do far more than what we can think or ask.  His power, and His love, are without bound and without measure.  So why do we fear to follow His Word?  Isn’t it in fact fear that keeps us back from a life of joyous generosity and openhandedness?  But God is able to do far more abundantly!  So let us not be afraid to take the Lord at His Word and live according to it.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      Amos 7:8        
“And the Lord said to me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘A plumb line.’  Then the Lord said, “Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.’”  One of the sins for which the Lord condemned the people through Amos was a disregard for the call of kindness, charity, and generosity toward the weak and lowly.  We can see here how seriously the Lord sees this!  And that’s no surprise when we consider how God’s activity toward us is built on kindness, charity, and generosity.  To act otherwise is to act against the Lord’s own nature.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      2 Cor. 12:10        
“For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.”  Paul found contentment in Christ.  To be content means to accept what the Lord gives us at any given time as somehow being from the hand of the Father who wants to bless us.  Sometimes it’s hard to see how things like hardships, calamities, and insults will turn out for a blessing: but that is why Paul found this contentment in Christ and not in his own wisdom.
