Giving
God loves us too much to give us everything we want because often, it’s not what we need.
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. —Proverbs 25:21-22
Numbers 21:4-5 – And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
As the children of Israel journeyed, they became discouraged. Then the people spoke against God and Moses concerning their journey out of Egypt and their lack of bread and water. They said they loathed the light bread (manna) being given unto to them. From there, the Lord sent fiery snakes among the people and many of them died. In His mercy after Moses’ intercession, the Lord instructed Moses to make a fiery serpent on a pole so that those that were bit could look at it and live (Numbers 21:7-9).
In viewing their circumstances, here are six things we can learn:
Acts 20:35 – I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Around the world and throughout the halls of academia, one of the basic tools for learning is the textbook. For some college students, college books are often more expensive than the course itself.
As you complete your classes and begin to consider what to do with your books, please consider giving your books away to another student.
Now, it’s your right to sell your books, but you never know what someone else might be going through. Your giving might be the answer someone prayed for.
