Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:8-14
Some followers of Christ are called to full time ministry: pastors, teachers, evangelists, missionaries. They devote their lives to serving God, to reaching the unsaved, to supporting the “least of these,” and to equip the saints.
Those whom God has called to serve Him full time have needs, those same needs we looked at yesterday.
They need to have those needs met as well.
We who are not called to full time ministry have a wonderful privilege of supporting those who are. We can contribute to godly ministries. We can tithe to our local churches. We can financially support missionaries.
When we give a portion of what God’s given us to meet our needs, we help to meet the needs of God’s full time servants as well.
It truly is a privilege because we have a small part in growing God’s kingdom when we support those who have committed their lives to serve Him and others. When we help to provide for their needs, we allow them to focus on their calling.
What a blessing!
