TODAY'S EPISODE:

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

You are rich. Did you know it? Paul says that those riches were achieved because someone else became poor. And that someone is Christ. Christ became poor so that by his poverty he could make you rich. Jesus took our poverty upon Himself in order to bestow on us his riches of sonship. That makes you wealthy, that makes you blessed, that makes you His. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because you are united with Christ.

These are heavenly riches. But these spiritual riches work their way into our physical lives. They free us up to live generous lives here right now. And to the extent that we truly understand this will result in generous hearted living. Paul wants us to follow through with the generosity that was born in our hearts. He doesn't want us to stall out. He wants us to finish whatever it is that God inspired you to do. Maybe it's offering a meal to someone who's sick, spending time with someone who really needs it, giving financially to someone in need, helping to advance the cause of the gospel, as was the case of this particular passage. Whatever it is, don't stall out. Finish what God has inspired you to do.

Live out your generous life because you are rich and your spiritual wealth comes from Him. May this inspire you to live out the riches that are yours in Christ. Don't stall out on those things that God inspires you to do, but rather live them out in the joy and the strength and in the presence of Christ who dwells in you.

That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For...
