—2 Corinthians 8:1-7
by: Nathanael Lawton.
Notice what the Macedonians gave first: of themselves to God. They gave beyond their means with joy. It is amazing how when people are devoted to God, they can see what is really important. They also gave because it was the will of God. They were willing to sacrifice to do the Lord’s work. We should all strive to be so devoted to God that we can place him, his work, and his people before ourselves, and we should be humbled and motivated when we see others who do just that.
