Today's Scripture "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap." Luke 6:38, NIV

Today's Word None of us has gotten to where we are by ourselves. Somebody encouraged you, taught you, brought you to church, believed in you, took a chance and gave you a position, prayed for you. They were instrumental in you being where you are, so why don't you reach out and help somebody else? Give away what's been given to you. Sometimes we live ingrown, focused on ourselves. We're grateful, we thank God for what He's done, but that's not going to sustain His blessings in our life. The real test is, are you taking the time to encourage someone? Are you going out of your way to be good to people? Are you strengthening others? Here's the key: As long as you keep the encouragement flowing, being good to people, helping them overcome, comforting them, then the blessings are going to keep coming. The healing is going to keep coming, the joy, the fulfillment, the right people. As you give away what God has given you, as you strengthen others, you will always have the "good measure" you need.

Building a Community of Care Part of giving and supporting one another means being aware of when our fellow members face difficult circumstances. We encourage everyone to help us stay informed when someone in our community is dealing with serious illness or when families experience the loss of a loved one. Please contact Department Chaplain Elton Strickland directly or use our website contact form to share these important updates. This allows us to provide timely prayer support, pastoral care, and practical assistance when it matters most.

Prayer For Today "Father, thank You for being the God of infinite grace who always exceeds my greatest expectations. Thank You that as I give freely of myself to others, You will bless me to the point of overflowing. I declare that I will give away what You have given to me and bless others. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
