(Mission Cast)Mission Generosity (Job 9:4; 1 Peter 5:5) (Discipleship)

Jeff reflects on God’s wisdom and goodness and power in light of daily, missional living among the newly arrived immigrant, using Jim Eliot’s (missionary to the Waodani people of Ecuador) journal entry, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” The blessings that we have received in Christ enable and empower us to live generous lives for the sake of the gospel, because we entrust our lives to the One who is able to keep them.

Old Testament Verse

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has resisted him and succeeded?
Job 9:4

New Testament Verse

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
1 Peter 5:5

Prayer

Wise and winsome God, you are my power, my strength. I regret when my heart is proud, for human pride has no place with you. Your signs are mercy and grace. Help me see through foolish pride in myself and others. Let "Humility" and "Grace-Received" be my names today as I share your way of promise and love. Amen.
