“Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.”(Philippians 4:15)

This is a consistent law of God’s world.  “Give and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall be given into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”  Lend your boat for a whole afternoon to Christ that it may be His floating pulpit, and He will return it to you laden with fish.  Place your upper room at His disposal for a single meal, and He will fill it and the whole house with the Holy Spirit of Pentecost.  Place in His hands your barley loaves and fish, and He will not only satisfy your hunger, but add twelve baskets full of fragments. The Philippians sent three or four presents to a suffering and much needing servant of God and from that moment they might reckon that every need of theirs would be supplied.  Such small acts on our part are recompensed with such vast returns.  We scratch the surface of the soil and insert our few little seeds, and within a few months the acreage is covered by a prolific harvest in which a hundredfold is given for every grain which we seemed to throw away.  – F.  B.
