As I was doing some research today this post came up and it seemed it had a good message within it for this hour, for a group of people on the AP and within the Body. Not every word or article will touch were everyone is. Trust you will be edified by this teaching. There is a hesitancy on the part of many to get involved in anything that does not have the security of what appears to be predetermined outcome.
Pride is on the line.
Cast your bread upon the waters for you will find it after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. We become especially reluctant to commit when we have been burned previously. Once a disappointment has been experienced in one area, there is a tendency to withdraw and withhold on every front. When God is leading us to pour ourselves and our resources into His Kingdom purpose and destiny, it is missing the mark to hold back in tentative analysis and introspection.
