—2 Corinthians 8:9-15

My goal in writing devotions today was thwarted by distractions and interruptions. Finally, sitting to read the mail, I was drawn to a missionary family’s letter. Their witness brought passion to my spirit. I prayed about how I could support their faithful work. Later, reading today’s passage, Paul reminded me that to be “stirred up” and eager to give of our resources is only the first step. We must follow through, believing in His provision, not only for those receiving but also for those who are giving. What is God saying to you in these verses? How do you respond when hearing a call to support a cause for Christ?
