Day 334...(Jeremiah 34,35; Ezekiel 19,20; 2 Corinthians 9)..."Sowing"

The Bible teaches us a very familiar passage..."you reap what you sow" (Galatians 6:7). One other passage about sowing is found in today's passage in 2 Corinthians.

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever."

A person not only reaps what he sows but also becomes generous or stingy by the attitude we have toward giving to others. Some have called this a lifestyle of scarcity or abundance. What is our choice...sowing with scarcity or abundance?
