Seeds and Needs

2 Corinthians 9:10-15    
10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. 12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 13 while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, 14 and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

All we have from God’s hand is to give to others, especially the gospel.  He multiplies the seed of His word in and through us as He also enriches us. This is why we thank God for all He gives and for using us to minister to others!  God is glorified as we meet needs and in the thanks of us and of those we serve.  The most amazing gift of eternal life given in the grace of Christ’s righteousness is why we are thankful and why we should share this and everything else with each other.  As His body, the church has this reliance on Him and willing desire to serve and thank Him as our driving force.
