Purpose Sunday
Today is Purpose Sunday. We are simply striving to fulfill
2 Corinthians 9:7. “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not
grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”
We purpose to give, and when everyone of us does this, the results are
literally in God’s hands. It makes me think of the words of Paul:
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So, neither he
who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the
growth” (1 Corinthians 3:6-7).
Paul and Apollos purposed in their individual efforts… God was in
control of the collective. The results. May we prayerfully continue this
planting and watering process. Only God knows where this will lead for the
Kingdom.
