Grace for your spirit 8-11-15

Grace for your spirit
Begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.    II Corinthians 8:4-5

Paul hadn't expected many contributions from the churches in Macedonia, but he was pleasantly surprised.  They begged him to let them be a part of his support. How did that happen?  Easy, First they gave themselves to the Lord, and then to Paul by the will of God.  We have no idea what we can do with our time, talent, and resources, until we wholly give ourselves to the Lord.  When we test ourselves in the will of God, everyone wins.
