Key
Verse 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

Paul starts this portion of scripture by telling what God, in His grace,
has done for the churches of Macedonia. He wanted them to be encouraged
because they had been going through much trouble and hard times. But they had
mixed their joy with their poverty
resulting in an overflow of giving to
others.

The Macedonians had reason to be

sorrowful because of the severe trials
they were in, but they chose to rejoice.
Even though they were in extreme
poverty, they made others rich through
their giving. Though they had nothing,
they possessed everything that really
matters. They had learned that God's grace was sufficient. God blesses those who
give according to and beyond their ability.

We can learn from their example. We may not have a lot of material things,
or have a lot of money, but can God still use us? Certainly! God has a way of
multiplying the little that we have into what is needed. Remember the little boy
who only had some bread and a few fish. Look what the Lord did when it was given
to Him. We need to always be ready to give what we have and then see how God is
going to use it for His glory.

2 Corinthians 9:7b

God loves people who love to give.
