Scripture

3 John 1

5 Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing for such teachers in a manner that pleases God. 7 For they are traveling for the Lord, and they accept nothing from people who are not believers. 8 So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.

Observation

Providing for those in the ministry that need our help is very important today too. We have just taken up our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and we are just a little short of reaching our goal of $36,209.00, but this Sunday we should go over the goal. Why is it so important? It is important because our missionaries need to be able to serve without having to spend their time worrying about raising their own support. We (the churches in the USA) are spending so much money on ourselves and very little goes to help those around the world come to know Christ. This has to change soon!

Application

I will continue to give sacrificially to help traveling teachers/missionaries do what God has asked them to do. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me a bigger heart for those who do your work full-time and that depend on the support that others can give them. Thank You for providing so much for Kathy and I. We are blessed. Thank You for allowing us to travel and teach in many places and thank You for friends in so many different places. You are a wonderful God. You have given us so much. Help us be a blessing to others.
