Am I The Only One – Aaron Lewis
Bible in a Year :
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
After seven decades of hard work as a washerwoman—scrubbing, drying, and pressing clothes by hand—Oseola McCarty was finally ready to retire at the age of eighty-six. She had scrupulously saved her meager earnings all those years, and to the amazement of her community, Oseola donated $150,000 to the nearby university to create a scholarship fund for needy students. Inspired by her selfless gift, hundreds of people donated enough to triple her endowment.
Oseola understood the true value of her wealth was not in using it for her own gain, but to bless others. The apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to command those who are rich in this present world “to be rich in good deeds” (1 Timothy 6:18). Each of us has been given wealth to steward, whether it’s in the form of financial means or other resources. Instead of trusting in our resources, Paul cautions us to put our hope only in God (v. 17) and to lay up treasure in heaven by being “generous and willing to share” (v. 18).
In God’s economy, withholding and not being generous only leads to emptiness. Giving to others out of love is the way to fulfillment. To have both godliness and contentment with what we have, instead of striving for more, is great gain (v. 6). What would it look like for us to be generous with our resources, as Oseola was? Let us strive to be rich in good deeds today as God leads us.
Reflect & Pray
What opportunity do you have to be generous today? How can sharing what you have lead to greater contentment?
Thank You for the resources I have, God. I surrender them to You today.
What an inspirational story!!Read it to my hubby who is a big science guy. Awesome. 💓💓
Whoever the Chef is, I want them to adopt me!
I hope this information goes viral.
Amen, we will never regret true generosity even when we do not see the results here on earth.
I’m saving that one!
luvie, I don’t think you and I will survive in the 15 minutes cities.
“Evil is simply the absence of God”
❤️
you did an amazing job with inconsistent power! Thank you it looks delicious.
I do remember that person Walter Cronkite. His misreporting, FAKE NEWS, on the Tet Offensive changed popular support for our troops in the war resulting in the US ultimately losing the war. It was our first military defeat and it rests on his shoulders.
He most certainly had an agenda.
I like that explanation.
BUT, there is no evidence such a conversation ever took place. The “atheist professor” is an unidentified straw man which the student destroys. But no university is named, name of the professor or date this took place. It is unverifyable. Our side needs to be careful using this tactic.
..........
Yup, he was a lefty big time.
"And Thats the way it is"
I know, but it is a nice story, and I am sure there are “a few bold Christians”
When I first read that statement I thought it was pretty good, and quite interesting. As I am with most things, I pondered it for awhile and decided it was actually terribly deceptive.
It is saying that evil is really nothing to fear, that you don’t have to put on the full armor of God, that Satan is basically not real and not actively trying to destroy God’s creation. Evil is not merely the absence of God, but the absence of God is what opens the door for evil to take over.
1 Peter: 5 says “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
That description is not merely the absence of God. You cannot actively resist the absence of God. An atheist can live a life that is not evil, and be far apart from God.
I would say that as God is removed from our society, bit by bit, the devil rushes in to fill the vacuum. This is what we are witnessing, to our horror, with all of the evil taking place today. The best tool the enemy has is for people to not think he is real. Satan is the spirit of this world - it is the presence of God which will help us to keep Satan at bay.
I can understand that darkness is the lack of light, but I question cold being the lack of heat. Heat can also be the lack of cold. I noted that last week, and turned on the a/c lol. The arctic lacks heat, the equator lacks cold. I suspect those two are interchangeable, but I’m no Einstein, that’s for sure!
Lol — fence dog looks like Mr. Peabody
