Psalm 112:4-9  
Light shines in the darkness for the upright. 
He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous. 
Good will come to the one who lends generously 
and conducts his business fairly. 
He will never be shaken. 
The righteous one will be remembered forever. 
He will not fear bad news; 
his heart is confident, trusting in the LORD. 
His heart is assured; he will not fear. 
In the end he will look in triumph on his foes. 
He distributes freely to the poor; 
his righteousness endures forever. 
His horn will be exalted in honor. (CSB)

Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people— 
God’s grace and mercy and justice! 
The good person is generous and lends lavishly; 
No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, 
But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation. 
Unfazed by rumor and gossip, 
Heart ready, trusting in GOD, 
Spirit firm, unperturbed, 
Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies, 
They lavish gifts on the poor— 
A generosity that goes on, and on, and on.
An honored life! A beautiful life! (MSG)

Good lives overflow. They augment and enrich others. They enhance and build up. 

God blesses those who forward his blessings to others. He creates waves of mercy, waves of grace to flow from us to others and beyond. 

Blessings bless most when shared. We are extensions of His Kingdom come when we empower others with the strength he implants in our lives. 

Count your blessings, not your bucks. Blessings abound exponentially more than dollars collect interest. Blessings increase magnificently as they are shared. 

God’s blessings bear light and life. They beautify lives. They heal and give hope. They nurture. They fill the hungry. They hold the hurting. They comfort those experiencing loss. 

As you gather with your church family for worship today, catch God’s wave of grace, mercy, and justice. Share it generously and lavishly. Live an honorable and beautiful life of extravagant generosity. 

I will become a river of God’s extravagant generosity.

Our Father, thank you for your many blessings. Shape my life by your grace, mercy, and justice. Orient my life toward those who need to experience your goodness. Flow through me with extravagant generosity. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
