Today’s Scripture: Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. Matthew 10:8 NIV
Matthew 9 and 10 reminds us we have been given the kingdom of God. Jesus came to let us know the Kingdom of God is with us. The Kingdom is all I have to give. When I begin to give more than the Kingdom I am in uncharted and dangerous waters.
Mankind complicates “free”. When I give what my flesh can give, I foster confusion. When I give what the Kingdom gives me, I am safe and sound and give what the LORD requires.
We have freely received the Kingdom of God and I pray we freely give only that. LORD help me to give what You have given me and restrain me from giving the things and thoughts I have that are outside of Your Kingdom. Help me to discern the difference.
I pray earnestly to only give what God has given me. The Kingdom of God is at hand; are you giving it?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for freely giving us Your Kingdom. LORD help me to freely give what You have freely given me. LORD forgive me when I give those things that are not of You. Please give me the wisdom and discernment to know the difference and the energy to give. Amen
