Daily Bible Reading – May 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word of FaithSample
May 26
Introduction
Paul asks the Corinthian churches to collect money offerings as part of a larger offering to be given by the churches in Macedonia to the followers in Jerusalem.
Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:12
If you are eager to give, God will accept your gift on the basis of what you have to give, not on what you don’t have.
Today’s Reading
2 Corinthians 8:1-15
Reflect
What example was set by the churches in Macedonia? Reread verses 13-15. What can communities of faith today learn from these verses?
Pray
Holy Spirit, breathe a spirit of deep generosity into our churches, that all followers of Jesus may be inspired to share the gifts of God with those in need. Bless all God’s people with God’s great abundance. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those facing financial difficulties
Tomorrow’s Reading
2 Corinthians 8:16-24: Paul tells the Corinthians that his partner Titus will be in charge of the collection.
