Giving as We Receive
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you…


At a sailors' meeting a seaman prayed, "Lord, make us ships with two hatchways; one to take in cargo, and the other to give it out." A good prayer; Paul knew its answer, "I have received of the Lord that which, also I delivered unto you" (1 Corinthians 11:23). We are not storehouses; we are ships intended to trade with the heavenly country and bring supplies for a needy world. Always loading ends in overloading; if we unload, we shall soon be reloaded. He who keeps his talent in a napkin, will lose both napkin and talent; one will rot, and the other rust.
