We’re now into the second week of FAST for FOOD which runs throughout November and is a response to the Global Food Crisis that is threatening millions of lives.
If this is the first you’ve heard of this initiative of Compassion you can read my earlier posts. Every 7 Seconds … and FAST for FOOD Explained.
Each day throughout November I’m posting a short Bible passage from the FAST for FOOD Calendar.
There is a theme for each week of the month and a passage to read as a focus of prayer.
The theme of week two is – RESPOND.
Ask God to show us clearly how He wants each of us to respond to the great need all around.
DAY 9 – 2 Corinthians 9:6–11 – Give
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
