Scripture

“He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 9:10

Reflections

RG LeTourneau is one of the most inspiring Christian inventors, businessmen and entrepreneurs the world has ever known.  He dropped out of school at the age of 14.  He started out as an auto mechanic and eventually worked his way to being the owner of the largest earth moving equipment business on the planet, John Deere.

As a man of deep faith, he was always committed to being generous with his means.  Even through a variety of financial setbacks, he was compelled to live generously.  As the rest of the country was going through the Great Depression, his business flourished.  They did so well that he and his wife made the decision to shift their giving from 10% to 90%.  90% went to the Lord while they lived off the 10%.

God may not bless each of us monetarily as he did RG LeTourneau.  But, he does have ways of surprising us with his blessings when we trust in him.  As one who supplies seeds for a sower, God can provide in abundance.  He gifts us with his Spirit.  We give of ourselves.  One act of kindness follows another, love without end.

We trust in Him.  We follow in his ways, giving of ourselves for the sake of others.  He blesses us along the way.

Prayer

Lord God, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be generous.  Help me to first trust in you and then give of myself as you would have me give.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
