Daily Encounter: A Week-day Devotional by a staff of ACTS International.

Thursday, March 12, 2020

"Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."¹

According to an article in The Community Visitor, Abraham Lincoln was walking down the street in Springfield holding the hands of his two sons, both of whom were crying lustily.

"What's the matter with the boys, Abe?" asked a neighbor. Lincoln replied, "The matter with them is the matter with the world. One has a nut, and the other one wants it."

Need I say more? Our Scripture for today says it all.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to be a giver and not a takerâ€"a giver of friendship, a giver of kindness, a giver of understanding, a giver of my possessions, a giver of love, and a giver of myself. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

1. Luke 12:15 (NIV).
