Day 73 - 2 Corinthians 8:10-15

10 Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it. 11 Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have. 12 Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have. 13 Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. 14 Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal. 15 As the Scriptures say,

“Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over,
    and those who gathered only a little had enough.”

I find my passions fluctuate regularly, which can be very harmful when it comes to zeal for God. We need to continue to be eager, dig into the Word, pursue God. 

This is actually something I was curious about, how to be wary of laziness in church if some people are giving everything they have. But this makes sense.

There are different seasons of life we go through and different seasons in ministry that we go through.  At times we will be in need of help and at other times we will have more than enough and will be able to help others with our abundance.  This is part of the way the Body of Christ is suppose to operate.
