How should we respond to God's provision?

1. We rejoice through giving.

2. We rejoice through gathering.

“Let him who cannot be alone beware of community... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone... Each by itself has profound perils and pitfalls. One who wants fellowship without solitude plunges into the void of words and feelings, and the one who seeks solitude without fellowship perishes in the abyss of vanity, self-infatuation and despair.”

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community

3. We rejoice through feasting.

4. Our response to God's provision is to be a posture of joy.
