Today's Scripture
PSALM 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
2 CORINTHIANS 8:7-15
Now as you excel in everything—in faith, in
speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness,
and in our love for you—so we want you to excel also in
this generous undertaking.
I do not say this as a command, but I am testing the
genuineness of your love against the earnestness of
others. For you know the generous act of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes
he became poor, so that by his poverty you might
become rich. And in this matter, I am giving my advice:
it is appropriate for you who began last year not only to
do something but even to desire to do something— now
finish doing it, so that your eagerness may be matched
by completing it according to your means. For if the
eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to
what one has—not according to what one does not
have. I do not mean that there should be relief for
others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a
fair balance between your present abundance and
their need, so that their abundance may be for your
need, in order that there may be a fair balance. As
it is written, ‘The one who had much did not have too
much, and the one who had little did not have too little.’
