Devotion - Thursday, November 5

Near the end of I Corinthians, Paul speaks of a "contribution for the saints."  He is speaking of an offering.  This is timely; UniLu will have our "Consecration Sunday" this Sunday, where we will ask persons to complete an estimate of giving card for 2016.

It sometimes seems a bit weird when we do this, given that those front three rows are occupied by students.  What are you to do, while all this is happening?

Well, hopefully, you will reflect on the same question being asked of the congregation - "How will you make use of the gifts that God has given you?"

I am not suggesting that you take out additional student loans in order to be a regular "contributor for the saints."  But you should look at your spending habits and ask if there might be choices which would allow you to be financially helpful.

Among the patterns you are setting in your life is the pattern of giving.  Now is the time to establish habits for your life.  Sharing and caring ought to be one of those habits.
