Morning by Morning, November 28 - Supply and Multiply Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, come rule and reign in my heart and my life today (Revelation 19:16). ... “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God” (2 Corinthians 9:10-12 ESV). You are the Supplier of the seeds that produce the harvest. And then You entrust us to steward and sow the seeds You’ve entrusted to us--our time and attention, our money and resources, our opportunities and even our challenges, all that we are and all that we have. You supply and then You multiply. Lord, give me wisdom to sow as You lead and to steward as You direct. Remind me that all I have and all I am belong to You, for I am now “bought with a price” to glorify You with my life--my life that’s no longer my own, but Yours alone (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Where I sow my seed You’ve entrusted to me makes a difference. Your desire according to Your Word is that I would sow my seed that You’ve supplied in “good ground” to produce a good crop, whether thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold, as You continue to supply and multiply (Matthew 13:8). I can’t control the yield of the crop any more than I can control the Source of the seed. My part is to be faithful; my part is to trust and obey, as best as I can and all by Your grace. Because apart from You, I can do nothing (John 15:5). And I praise You that I never have to be apart from You, for You are with me always--not only saving me, but also guiding me that my life may be fruitful in Your care and through Your leading (Matthew 28:20). For You are the Vine and I am one of Your branches, as You keep calling me to keep abiding in You as You keep abiding in me for a life that “bears much fruit” and produces a great “harvest” of Your “righteousness and peace and joy through (Your) Holy Spirit” in our world (John 15:5; 2 Corinthians 9:10; Romans 14:17). As Your Word reminds us of the joy of giving and the joy of sowing by the leading of Your Spirit: “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to (us), so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, (we) may abound in every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). As I give of my life and all You’re entrusting to me--this day and every day--let my heart be “overflowing in many thanksgivings to God!” (2 Corinthians 9:12) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
