Building projects are worthy of your support.

Read the following verses.  Think and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.

Exodus 35:29 All the men and women who were willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do (for the Tabernacle).

1 Chronicles 29:14-16 (David’s prayer after people gave generously to a building project) “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. O LORD our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.”

II Kings 12:7-12 King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage done to the temple?…Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the LORD. The priests who guarded the entrance put into the chest all the money that was brought to the temple. Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary and priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the LORD and put it into bags. When the amount had been determined, they gave the money to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. With it they paid those who worked on the temple of the LORD-- the carpenters and builders, the masons and stonecutters. They purchased timber and dressed stone for the repair of the temple of the LORD, and met all the other expenses of restoring the temple.

The only investment I ever made which has paid consistently increasing dividends is the money I have given to the Lord.

Milk For A Prisoner’s 6 Children

One day I was talking with Patrick at our church. He was one of 6 children being raised by their mother while their father was serving a multi-year prison sentence. Somehow the subject of milk came up in our conversation. Patrick mentioned he loved milk but at their house he and his 5 brothers and sisters didn’t get to have milk very often because they couldn’t afford it. The LORD brought to my mind Matthew 10:42 that says whoever gives even a cup of water to a child, will not lose his reward. I went home and talked with my wife and we joyfully decided to purchase a year’s supply of milk that would be delivered to their home every week so these 6 children could have milk without their mother having to worry about the cost.
